Captain : Martin Ferguson

I make sure the mighty Men of Fields are happy and relaxed by tending to their every need. I rub them when they are sore and I soothe them when they are angry. I am always there when they need me. I am very good at my job.

Fixtures Secretary : Nick Knapp

A number eleven batsmen with TT like catching ability. Famed for one run out and still living off it! Equally at home at the crease or in Langley Crescent gardens.

Honorary Member : Allen Nicklin

Nickname: Big Al Best sledger in the world, known to appeal for LBW from the pavillion. Ask him about good pubs and real ale and he'll bore you for hours. Specializes in London Pub Tours. Now enjoying a life of retirement

Honorary Member : Patrick Donovan

The Don (Bradman not Corleone): Been around forever: Can often be found drinking with Big Al.

Honorary Member : Gary Fisher

Very much an all rounder, although a bit less round in recent years. Single figure batsman who sometimes has to use two hands behind the stumps. Enjoys the beer and the banter at least as much as the cricket.

Honorary Member : Bill Burt

Windmill
