Astwood Bank has four amazing young cricketers who are leaving the juniors this year. They have played their fixtures tremendously well. Despite being a squad of four this year, this has not deterred them in anyway: they have kept focused and are a true credit not only to the club, their parents but most importantly, themselves.
The lads share some of their experiences and thoughts over the last seven years during an intense grilling from their team manger Claire Davies. First to be interrogated is Big Bad Brad.
