Paul Stanfield

Captain, Tour Co-ordinator, general dogsbody. Ex-Loughborough sports science graduate, Paul is a hard hitting, early order batsman and very occasional bowler the last time was 1997! Due to injuries and lack of ability, has taken up wicket keeping late in his career.

Andrew Copeland

Former, highly successful, Javea captain, opening bat and right arm (very) slow bowler. Allegedly retired from his insurance and financial services businesses, he has been able to turn his attention to being co-owner of an international school and an Irish pub! The latter being the venue of regular team strategy meetings.

John Braithwaite

"Flipper" is the larger than life dolphin trainer at Sea World, Benidorm. A Yorkshireman who doesn't have deep pockets and short arms, just a highly impressive penchant for Guinness. Tries never to miss any of the strategy meetings in the Irish bar!

Pete Hill

"Pete-the-meat" chef, hard-hitting middle-order bat and occasional bowler who always gives 100% (and takes 10%). Young, free and single for this trip well, he's on his own anyway. Expect to see him on the physio's table a great deal during the week particularly if she's pretty!

Tom Rowe

Old "Red Sack" is our UK import. Equally valuable with bat and ball all things are relative! Given the age of the squad, expect to see him cover a great deal of ground this week.

Ray Ward

The youngster of the squad at 67, Ray is still one of the more sprightly performers. Recently married, there must be life in the old dog yet. Awaiting the imminent commencement of his film career, he is proof that talent will eventually come to the fore.
