CAISTOR TOWN CRICKET CLUB

While his personal runs tally was down on previous seasons, 2011 was a notable year for Gareth - he featured regularly for the CTCC First Team, and became the Cougars' youngest ever captain.

A county cricketer since his early years, Gareth is also a keen footballer - playing in goal for Barton Town and Lincolnshire. However, his development in both sports has been hampered by several injuries.

Gareth will be a key part of the First Team in 2012, as the club looks to bounce back into the ECB Premier League, at the third time of asking. Following his brief stint as Sunday Team captain, though, he is unlikely to line up in the NLL.
