A Catch Up with Tom Anders

After announcing our first Xi and Second Xi captains last week, we also took the opportunity to sit down with newly elected Second XI captain, Tom Anders this week.

Tom has represented Cheshire at Age group level for the past couple of years and is able to bring some good experience to the role.

Covid permitting, Tom will lead the Second Xi in their biggest season so far, with more fixtures than ever before, we’ve planned around 15 fixtures for the team. They will also start with fixtures in Cricket Week.

They have fixtures so far planned against Newcastle Under Lyme School, Myerscough College (Preston) and Leeds Beckett University.

Tom will have an incredibly important role this coming year in integrating our new first years into his teams as well as developing his playing and leadership style for a group of students ho have played such a small amount of fixtures already.

‘I am very pleased to have been selected to be the second team captain this year for Myerscough college.

I would say I am friendly person who is easily approachable but, also very competitive. I am excited about becoming second team captain as I feel we have a great bunch of lads who are all capable of performing to a high standard.

I am looking forward to the 15 over competition as it is a chance to win something as a team and I am confident we can go deep into the competition.

I think that as a team we will produce some great cricket and have a good time whilst doing it.

As captain I will be fair but again, I will want to win every game that we play and do expect the team to always put the effort in weather that’s holding up an end with their bowling, chasing every ball to the boundary or going out and scoring some runs.’

We’d like to wish Tom the very best of luck for this season and cannot wait to get back out onto the cricket pitch and play again!
