Message from New Chair Dave Hart
I was a late starter to the Seniors scene, first playing for the 50s second XI at the ripe young age of 59, now, a few years on, it is a real privilege to take over the Chair from Mike. He will be a hard act to follow.
I was Chairman of the North Devon Cricket League for many years so hopefully that experience will help as I look forward to my new role with excitement. As many will know despite my heavily disguised Devon accent, I am not from these parts. I started playing at Palmers Grammar school in Grays, Essex under the guidance of some extremely dedicated sports staff. I then moved on to club cricket at Corringham CC and then Pegasus CC, before moving to North Devon in 1984. 29 years at Ilfracombe honed my drinking abilities before moving on to my current club Filleigh in 2013, after a move to South Molton. An opening bowler for many of those years has pretty much destroyed my body but would I change anything? Of course not! |
Along with the existing dedicated officials at Devon Seniors I hope to encourage participation from those already playing, and those yet to play, for this marvellous club. It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy cricket the way it should be played. Hard but fair on the field and friendly off. Nobody plays at our age if they don’t enjoy both the game and as importantly, the after-match fine dissection and reassembly of the day’s play, over a beer or two.
I am looking forward to the new challenge with my aim being: -
“Let’s get as many people playing cricket as possible”.
Good luck everyone for the coming season, hope to see many of you soon.
