Charlie Cooke - Club Wicketkeeper
1st cricket memory: At the first school I went to after we had moved out of London. I didn’t know anything about cricket and was passionate about football. I went to a cricket camp at Cheam school and amongst the coaching staff was Grant Flower and I think Andy too who were working as grounds staff at the school. That week got me hooked.
Top cricketing moment: Getting the top wicket keeping award last season is up there
but probably getting my first hundred when I was out playing in Australia.
Worst moment: was getting two golden ducks in consecutive weeks for St Cross
Two people have influenced me hugely: My coach when I was between 11 and 13. He was Australian and was the most enthusiastic man about cricket. And Allan Willows who coached me at school because he has really taught my everything I know about the game and his energy for the game was infectious (although he talked a lot of rubbish too).
Sporting heroes: Gianfranco Zola, Tiger Woods, Kevin Pietersen.
Best Music: Mumford and Sons, DJ Adam K, The Sunbeat Revival
Favourite Food: Pizza, Mum’s Roast Beef
Malcolm Berryman - Junior Chairman
1st cricket memory: being run out for 0 in a school match at about the age of 8 without facing a ball.
Top cricket moment: Firstly (end August 1993) winning the (then) Hampshire League Division 1 and the (then) Echo Trophy 20/20 in the same weekend for Liphook (I retired straight after!) and secondly every time I get the chance to see Adam and Steven play and enjoy themselves on a cricket pitch (I hope all our junior parents feel the same!)
Lowest cricket moment: ... see above
Who influenced me most: ... obviously my wife, Lorna (was this a trick question?) ... and as we learn all the time ... I guess it would be anyone with a passion, focus and commitment to try and be as good as they can be ... whether on or off a sports field!
Sporting heroes: Tiger Woods, Nigel Twiston- Davies and Brian Clough
Best music: it varies from day to day but it would be very surprising if they weren’t all by Bruce
Springsteen and the E Street Band!
