As Head of Senior Men’s Cricket, I oversee all aspects of senior cricket while fostering player development:

• Managing team selection and overseas player recruitment.
• Handling administrative duties for League and Cup cricket.
• Supporting captains to field balanced, competitive XIs.
• Providing a pathway for talented juniors to progress into senior cricket.

My journey with the club began in 1991 as a player. I was part of the 1st XI for many years and celebrated a League title in 1996. I’m also an ECB Level 2 qualified coach and have worked with junior age groups (U11–U16) – it’s been incredibly rewarding to see many of those players now thriving in our 1st XI.

My primary responsibility is to ensure the welfare and safeguarding of all members and visitors, with a particular focus on child protection:

• Conducting DBS checks for members with child welfare responsibilities.
• Developing and implementing safeguarding policies.
• Organising safeguarding and first aid training for relevant staff and volunteers.
• Ensuring the club remains compliant with Clubmark and Safe Hands standards, as mandated by the ECB.

My involvement with Three Bridges began as a junior coach, a role I held for ten years. I’m also a former player and had the honour of captaining the club’s 4th XI.

As Club Secretary, my primary responsibility is to ensure the club maintains robust governance and complies with all legal and regulatory requirements. My involvement extends beyond administration – I have a long-standing commitment to our junior section as a coach, and I’m currently focused on supporting our rapidly growing ladies’ and girls’ teams.

My personal journey with the club has been a family affair. One of my greatest pleasures has been the occasional opportunity to dust off my cricket kit and take to the field alongside my sons in the senior sides.

As a committee member, I represent the voices and interests of our ladies’ and girls’ sections at TBCC:

• Advocating for our female members to ensure they are supported, heard, and represented in all committee decisions.
• Organising and hosting social events to strengthen our club community and foster connections beyond the pitch.

I joined the club three years ago alongside my two older daughters. In the past year, I have helped organise our Family Festival, paint nights, a highly successful Race Night, and several popular quiz nights.

At TBCC, I wear multiple hats both on and off the field:

• Player: Regular member of the 2nd and 3rd XIs since joining the club.
• U14 Manager: Coached the same group since U9, now seeing some transition into senior cricket.
• Committee Member: Assisting in club governance and decision-making.
• Website Manager: Maintaining and updating the club’s website to ensure accurate information and a great digital experience.

I moved to Crawley in 2008 and began playing for Three Bridges in 2009. One of my most rewarding experiences has been managing my U14 squad — it’s fantastic to watch several of them take their first steps in senior cricket.

As Junior Teams Coordinator, my focus is to support our junior section by ensuring coaches have the resources and guidance they need:

• Creating a safe, inclusive, and well-structured environment for all young players.
• Helping juniors develop both technical skills and match awareness.
• Encouraging progression into senior cricket, nurturing long-term club members.

My connection with the club began when my eldest son joined as a 7-year-old. I also directly manage one of our age-group teams, which my youngest son plays in — combining my passion for cricket with the joy of seeing young talent grow.

As Treasurer, I am responsible for the club’s financial health and sustainability:

• Managing the club’s finances to ensure we operate within our means.
• Ensuring all bills and invoices are paid in a timely manner.
• Reviewing and negotiating contracts for essential services to secure the best possible value.
• Preparing financial proposals, including recommendations for membership subscriptions and match fees across all sections.

My lifelong passion for cricket began in my garden, playing with my older brother. A local paperboy, having seen us play, suggested we attend junior nets at Crawley Cricket Club – I took up that invitation at the age of nine and have been involved in cricket ever since.
