Interests
Hobbies and interest, I love playing cricket. I play fist class cricket for my club in Osterley. I am the captain of my team at school and we have been the champions for 3 years now. The reason for this is because I lead them well with such great amount of support. I was also a good team leader as we were very successful. I also enjoy playing with my kitten at home as I love cats.
