Affiliations
My main Hobby and Interest is Cricket which I play at a decent standard throughout each summer for Basildon and Pitsea Cricket Club and Shenfield High School Cricket Academy. I have captained men's sides on a Sunday since the age of 16 and captained my age group side for a number of years to develop my leadership skills which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have regularly assisted in coaching lots of youth players at the club and I am currently managing our two under 15 teams.
