After many years of leading Croft youth team to victory (beating Wovey in the final game being the highlight) followed his heart to Huncote to play alongside such players as Max "the power" Swords but to name one.

This promising wicket keeping bowling batsman is scoring 50's for Huncote 1st team at the age of 20 he has a promising future but will it be with his beloved Huncote or will he learn from his Big Broand take the air ballon over the hill toCroft CC?!?!

Jason Scrimshire

The phrase "Sporting Genius" is uttered once every generation. Sadly this does not apply to this seasoned pro. He was voted 2nd XI Captain at the 2006 AGM after an impressive season with the bat. The young lad was nervous about his newfound responsibilities and knew that following in the footsteps of Ian Daniels and Luke Creissen was never going to be easy.
He is one third of the clubs dynamic spin duo with Roberto Heald. But his career was nearly cut short by a freak crippling shoulder injury (right arm separated AC Joint) that left him on the sidelines for 6 weeks. Batsmen around the league were sobbing into their Pork Scratchings/Bombay Mix/KP Nuts at the thought of never being able to hit this bowler for towering 6's ever again!
Tears turned to joy, however, when he laced up his boots, donned his whites and took to the field of play once more! Some say he came back better than ever, others think he should've called it a day.
His batting has taken a nose dive since his injury. He was once part of a promising opening partnership with Luke Creissen but the realisation that he can't bat coupled with the signings of better players, meant he has slipped down to number 11.
To surmise: Right handed Bat, Right Arm Leg Spin
