I made my debut for Rushden Town first XI aged 15 in 1977 and scored my first century for the club in 1980. To this day, I have remained “a one club man”. I remember hitting a boundary off ex first-class left armer John Dye to win us a game as a schoolboy. I recall running out my buddy in a cup final at the County Ground Northampton, he didn’t face a ball and had his whole family watching. (Sorry Russ.) This was 20 minutes after running out my first victim. (Sorry Matt.) As the body began to age, I had a new lease of life playing seniors cricket, teaming up with chaps who had been my opponents was an unexpected joy. Soon enough I was playing for the over 60’s, visiting new counties and finding new ways to get out. Increasingly injury prone I can’t do much of what I once could, but on occasion the body is still willing. I managed a century in September 2024 for Rushden and Higham 3rdXI, 44 years after I scored my first. I still hope that it may not be my last....

Trevor started playing cricket when aged 8 or 9 with kit in hand he tagged along with his Dad to village matches hoping someone wouldn't turn up so he could get a game. He started playing organised cricket aged 14 and got a lucky break when the school 1st XI spin bowler fell off his motorbike the night before an early season match. Trevor got a late call up, took 4 wickets and never lost his place over the next four years. He played the equivalent of Lincs Prem for Hartsholme CC and Market Rasen CC before moving to Swansea, skippering local representative sides and often winning the midweek league six hitting competition. He packed cricket up completely from 1993 to 2006 after moving to Cornwall but returned to lead Mullion CC and skipper Cornwall O50s to the national semis in 2015. Since turning 60 he's gone a bit crazy running wise but still believes his cricket has yet to reach its true potential.
