Cricket: 1st team captain

Hi everyone,

My names Joel and I am rerunning for 1st XI captain for next season. This year I have:

  • Led the indoor team to qualify for the BUCS indoors national championship finals. Top 8 in the country.
  • Introduced multiple training sessions per week for the first time ever. Planning every midweek fielding session and Sunday training.
  • Campaigned for and got the 1st XI free physiotherapy and gym work.
  • Ensured the 1s avoided relegation and were 20 runs off promotion to BUCS Prem.
  • Leading wicket taker and one of the top Run scorers in our entire BUCS division.
  • On track to winning LUSL.
  • Captain and founder of London Universities XI.

For next year:

  • Improve fielding as a club. Removing the S&C sessions in place of a midweek, compulsory fielding and fitness session.
  • Work with Nick from IA to campaign for Nets in Ethos.
  • Win BUCS and get promoted to the Prem.
  • Introduce fast bowling, spin bowling and batting masterclass sessions led by 1s players for the entire club to attend (in summer term).
