Captain : Richard Lawson

The new Club captain for 2011 after spending the last couple of years as Pips apprentice.He will be looking to build on a sound 2010 season where his form with the bat coinsided with marrying his true love.will it last in 2011, the form that is! Has become the specialist slip fielder by default rather than any ability possessed.
Matt Wareing Member profile

Vice Captain : Matt Wareing

Left arm seam up bowler who has started to open the bowling for the senior side. Had a fantastic 2010 taking over 50 wickets for the club. Seems to grow week on week and currently stands at over 7 feet tall. Destined for greater things but we will enjoy him while we can, big things expected in 2011. Also nicest teenager you could ever meet.
Players
Peter Brinkley Member profile Peter Brinkley
Played his first game for the club in 1981, Pedro is the most experienced current player at Great Bromley. Has scored thousands of runs and taken hundreds of wickets. Can bat anywhere in the order and rarely bowls two consectutive balls the same. Gives good advice in the field and as a former captain knows the game very well.
Jack Edwards Member profile - no photo available Jack Edwards
Wicket keeper batsman who came through the colts. Is starting to play more for the senior sides and has a lot of potential. Has proved he is not intimidated by senior cricket and has a fantastic straight drive but perhaps shouldnt play it to every ball!
Liam Fisher Member profile Liam Fisher
All rounder who has come through the colts set up. An attacking batsman who can bat anywhere in the top/middle order. Bowls at a good pace and swings the ball. In 2009 he devised a 6 hitting competion for the season which, of course, he won.
Jake Foley Member profile - no photo available Jake Foley
Coverted first winner of the mallard trophy in 2009, superstar Jake is also a runner up in the sports personality of the year...for under 18s...in cricket...at felstead...for left handers. Jake now plays at a higher level on a Saturday but his fast leg breaks and stylish batting can still be seen at Bromley on Sundays for the 1st team. He is the current holder of our young player of the year award.
Matt Foley Member profile - no photo available Matt Foley
Joined the club in 1987 and has made over 400 appearences. Started out as a seam up bowler and was successful with over 250 wickets. In recent times has turned to his attentions to perfecting the art of spin bowling. Can score useful runs in the lower middle order and always keeps the bar well stocked. Which makes him a very popular club member.
Andy Fowles Member profile - no photo available Andy Fowles
Oldest current player but wouldn't of thought it with his agile ground fielding and safe pair of hands. Tricky spinner who always bowls to his field. Bats in the lower order and has to run himself out at least once a season. Exceptional scorer and introduced the Mallard Trophy in 2009.
Lance Grainger Member profile - no photo available Lance Grainger
Chairman and all round good egg.Amazingly consistant bowler considering he only plays 2 games a season.First name on the teamsheet when he does play..at no11!
Matt Halsey Member profile - no photo available Matt Halsey
Another colt who seizes every opportunity to play at senior level. Very smooth bowling action and gets rewarded by bowling in excellent areas. Can bat but yet to prove so in the senior set up. Took 5-8 at Harwich in 2009 on his 14th birthday.
David Hardy Member profile David Hardy
Captained the Two Counties side in the first four years of being formed. Did a terriffic job in building a side that now seems to be blossoming. Makes useful contributions with the bat and is stunning to watch in the field.

Harry Hitchcock Member profile - no photo available Harry Hitchcock
Huge opening bowler who is recovering from a knee operation during the off season. Gets alot of bounce and can be a real handful for batsmen. Can hit the ball a long way but tends to play by numbers.
Nick  Holyman Member profile - no photo available Nick Holyman
Joined the club in 2009 and performed well in his first season. Bowls accurate medium pacers and is a solid lower order batsman. Has become a valued member of the team in a short space of time and feels like he has played for Bromley for years. Writes excellent match reports for the Two Counties games.
Billy Huggins Member profile - no photo available Billy Huggins
Another former colt who opens the bowling for the saturday side. After a couple of seasons without playing came back and had a terriffic season in 2009 ending in him being the leading wicket taker. Bats in the lower order and has made useful contributions.
Richard Hunt Member profile - no photo available Richard Hunt
Richard is an occasional player whos occasional wicket keeping and lower order batting can occasionally come in very handy. Another who moved from the dark side!
Craig Perrin Member profile Craig Perrin
Very gifted opening batsman/wicketkeeper whos talent is almost as great as his modesty.Currently gracing Loughborough Universitys student bar where he keeps everyone one intersted by telling stories of his glorious cover drives and forward defences. Thankfully he is still able to play most weekends due to his dads credit card.
Louis Perrin Member profile Louis Perrin
Came through the colts and won the Two Counties Division 6 title in his first season as captain of the saturday side in 2009. Has become a very solid middle/top order batsman and is exceptional in the field. His medium pacers take many wickets and still baffles opposition batsmen with his terribly disguised slower ball.
Simon Prestney Member profile - no photo available Simon Prestney
Hard hitting middle order batsman who can destroy an attack in a matter of overs. Can be hit or miss but when it pays off no bowler is safe. Can keep wicket but is most favourably known for the terriffic tea he produces.
Joe Sheekey Member profile - no photo available Joe Sheekey
Joined the club in 2010 from near neighbours Elmstead.He enjoyed an exellent first season scoring 140 on debut. A joy to watch if he manages to survive the first over. He chipped in with useful wickets too with a combination of beamers and bouncers. Joe also provides our support base,his faithful fiancee Justine wouldnt miss a match for the world, not until they are married anyway!
Rob Wareing Member profile Rob Wareing
Accurate right arm medium pacer who doesn't always get the wickets he deserves. Bats in the lower order but is fully capable of scoring runs. Hates baseball.Currently punching way above his weight on the girl front!
Olly Wright Member profile - no photo available Olly Wright
Son of Colts manager and club legend Did, he is right handed but unsure if he is a bowler/batsman or batsman/bowler or maybe wicketkeeper? one thing he isnt is a fielder! He possess a sharp wit and knows more swear words than is humanly possible
