Magnus
joined us from Newton St. Cyres looking for a more relaxed style
of cricket. This he found, and as Captain spread this ethos throughout
the team. A natural bowler and hard hitting batsman he emulated
his hero ITB's achievements for Somerset and England in the 80's,
carrying the side through some lean years. Always selfless in the
bar, Magnus will always be assured a guest spot in the team and
a warm welcome in the Half Moon.

Pre 1983-1997

The
best Tea Person a club could wish for.Jean's sandwiches and cakes,not
to mention hot dogs for evening games, were legendary.There can't
be many clubs where you could get cheese and beetroot sandwiches
to order! You'll always be missed Jean, although our waist lines
are probably better off!

Pre 1983-1997

President
of the club from 1990 to 1997. Slow bowler with mixed fortunes.Finished
his career with bowling figures of 898.3 Overs 95 Maidens 4847
Runs 211 Wickets
giving him an average of 22.97 with best bowling figures
of 6 - 37, and batting figures of 1881 Runs from

D.McGurk

of 77. |

Pre1983-1993

Rodney
spent more time at the crease than the rest of the club put together,
although it was with a mower and roller and not a bat, in his role
of groundsman.
With the ball was often seen helping himself to lower order
wickets. Still shares the record for most catches by an outfielder
in one match.

R.Marshall
1990-2000
|
The
holder of the most wicket in a season, well he was Captain that summer,
Rodney is surpassed in his appeals only by Oxfam. He usually managed
to cajole and plead his way to a couple of wickets, and did not take
himself off until he had... Now resident in La Belle France
he often threatens to pop back, Lord help us! |
A.Pottle
1985-1991
|
A
very promising cricketer whose game was improving year on year.Tragically
died far too young from cancer, robbing him of the chance to achieve
his full potential. Greatly missed but still remembered in
the shape of the Andrew Pottle Memorial Shield which is awarded
to the Player of the Year.

Andy
was very much a team player (unlike his brother!). Very dependable
with both bat and ball. Lately seen running the line at Tiverton Town
Football Club and in the Dr.Martens Leagues. |
R.Turner
1984-1994
|
A
formidable left arm bowler who set many records in his time, and with
the bat made Geoffrey Boycott look interesting! It takes skill to
open the batting on a Sunday afternoon and bat for 3 hours and only
score 5 runs. Always looked after his average. We draw fewer games
since Rob's move to Exeter. Has career statistics of 1443.5 Overs
298 Maidens 4773 Runs 356 Wickets giving him an average of 13.40 and
with the bat scored 2629 Runs from 168 Innings with an amazing 50
Not Outs (mind that average Rob).

Ah,"The
Great GW".What can be said about Guy that he hasn't already
said for himself? Who can forget his telling and retelling of every
shot from his latest record breaking innings? Set an unreachable
standard as far as batting was concerned, luckily for the rest of
the team his bowling was never as good as he thought it was. He
held the record for most runs in a season for 14 years, with 1216
runs from just 24 innings. From 46 Career innings he scored 1920
Runs which included 9 half centuries and 6 centuries, 236 fours,
110 sixes and a top score of 182, giving him an average of 48.00.
Guy bowled 116.2 Overs and took 46 Wickets for 690 Runs giving an
average of 15.00. There'll always be a place in the team for you
Guy.
