Our next sponsored player is 1st XI all rounder Lee Tyrrell. Lee is the club’s undisputed quickest bowler and is also known for clearing the ropes more than anyone else.
Lee has had a number of match winning knocks, including 80 and 75* vs Chesham and Amersham respectively, and scored his first Saturday 1st XI ton this year in the warm up game vs GX. Lee also took his best figures of 5-48 vs Chesham last season. Lee’s talent has seen him also represent Bucks, Kent 2nd XI, Worcestershire 2nd XI and the MCC Young Cricketers. Lee is sponsored this season by our groundsman Michael Woodwards, aka Custer. Custer is a lifelong club member and a cricketer whose illustrious playing career at Harefield has spanned six decades and over 1,200 matches across all the Club XIs between 1968 and 2016. The highlight of which was his keeping wicket for both our 2nd XI and 1st XI Thames Valley promotion winning sides of the early 90s. Custer has served on the Club Committee in various roles since 1972 most recently that of Cricket Secretary. Today, Custer is our Club Groundsman and has been since taking early retirement in 2012. He claims to have spent far more time on the pitches with a mower than he ever did with a bat. Custer is humbled to have seen the progress made by the Club over the years and is very proud of the achievements of our young 1st XI who have established Harefield as a Premier League Club playing at the highest level of recreational cricket in the country.

Player of the week for last week as voted for on Twitter is Director of Cricket Doug King for his excellent performance for the 1s vs Amersham cricket club 1s in the HCPCL scoring a quick fire 28* to set up a difficult chase, before blowing away Amersham’s middle order with figures of 5/26 helping us win by 108 runs (DLS).
