Bredon Cricket Club are delighted to have engaged the services of top coach Andy Stovold.
He will be helping our junior players develop their batting during our Friday evening coaching sessions.
According to his Wikipedia entry, Andy was “a dependable right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper who represented Gloucestershire (1973–1990), Marylebone Cricket Club (1976) and Orange Free State (1974/75–1975/76).
“He was a regular opening partner for the Test batsman Sadiq Mohammad and he also kept wicket until the emergence of Jack Russell.
“He was awarded his county cap in 1976 and a benefit in 1987. He joined the county’s coaching staff upon retirement.
“Since 2010, he has been head coach of the University of Bristol Cricket Club, alongside other coaching commitments.”
Andy took part in his first coaching session at Hill Close last Friday (June 23).
His expertise is an addition to the positive impact club coach Tom Walsingham has had on playing standards at Hill Close since his arrival this season.
