Gavin batting at The Green

There should be a lot more runs coming from Gavin's bat in the years to come

Capped for his country at under 17 level and performing regularly in the Senior side is the reward for dedication, enthusiasm and talent.  Gavin has been the 'find' of the season and has some excellent 'scalps' under his belt this season. He has played in his first Senior Challenge Cup Final at the weekend, did very well and has earned the prize below. 

Many good players have played a lifetime and not had their name engraved on the base.  Gavin has picked up a winner's medal first time age 16!
