Bob Selley
TreasurerEmail: treasurer@sparsholtcc.co.uk
Bob joined the club in 1981 and was first team 'keeper for many years, including one season when the firsts went unbeaten . As his faculties declined he slid down the teams but up the batting order. Scored 118 in a league record opening stand of 245 vs. Lyndhurst with Pete Green. Was fortunate to captain the strongest 2nd XI in the club's history, winning two promotions in three years. Captained the 3rds for a couple of years. His eyesight and reactions eventually declined to the extent that there was only one sensible route - umpiring, which turned out to be more taxing and less enjoyable than playing.
Bob is the club treasurer and unofficial photographer. He still has the photos from the infamous Cambridge club tour. His proudest achievement is falling asleep whilst remaining standing one lunchtime on the Devon tour.

Jeremy Frith
First XI CaptainEmail: firstxi@sparsholtcc.co.uk
An old boy of the club returned in 2016 season following a stint in Guernsey. Now first team captain coach and motivator. Left arm spin bowler and batsman and occasional fireman at his own barbecues.
-
Jamie Skeoch
Second XI CaptainEmail: jamie_skeoch@hotmail.co.uk
Another Lancastrian from Preston Jamie joined Sparsholt in 2016. A swashbuckling batsman with his own stylish Preston slog talks almost as much rubbish as the chairman. An ex footballer who runs around like billy whizz from the beano (an old comic for those who haven't heard of the beano).
Jamie is so important he expects other people to update his member registration for him.

Martin Patterson
Sunday XI CaptainEmail: sundays@sparsholtcc.co.uk
A tedious batsman and clumsy stand-in 'keeper who should have retired years ago.
