COACHES - ALL STARS & DYNAMOS
Paul Anstey
Lead Coach
With three children involved in junior cricket Paul is the ideal man to take over from Liam leading our All Stars & Dynamos programmes. Paul demonstrates enormous patience with the children whilst always encouraging them to try their best with every skill they learn. When he isn't being chased around the pitch by Twinkle and a group of All Stars, Paul is a regular bowler for the Senior teams providing great banter and encouragement for all the players.
Jenny Allen
Dynamos
Jenny is our leading lady for All Stars, a shining light for all of our budding cricketers. Jenny has been an amazing addition to the team, full of energy and enthusiasm, her first season of involvement in cricket was a real success!
Olly Dimbylow
Dynamos
The prodigal son returned to Hendred activities in the last couple of years introducing his family to the All Stars launch, becoming a volunteering parent and a key part of the team. Olly is known to throw parents in the pool and soak them with water pistols on the family fun night, so be alert! A popular figure with the children an adults alike, shout “All Stars” when you see him and he will demonstrate his “All Star” pose.
Ian Phillips
All Stars
Ian (winner of the 2019 2nd XI batting award) is a former rugby player and brings a fearless and determined competitiveness to Seniors. He throws himself, literally, into the game and so it isn't unusual to see him nursing an injury - but that never dampens his spirit! Ian has passed on his love of cricket to his daughter who thoroughly enjoys playing with the All Stars so he is a perfect volunteer.
Jamie Barton
All Stars
If there’s fun to be had Jamie will be around! Our very own Peter Pan, full of energy and mischief. Jamie is new to the activator team having volunteered to join the team following his children’s involvement last year in the All Stars sessions. He was jealous of the fun which was being had and wanted to join in and be part of the team!
Dan Atkins
All Stars
Captain of the 3rd XI, Dan takes sport VERY seriously! He is always looking for marginal improvements - something the team could do with on occasion! Keen to ensure a love for cricket remains in the family Dan is a volunteer for the All Stars programme which his children absolutely love.
Sam Forrest
Dynamos
For the avoidance of doubt - Sam is a Kiwi - so woe betide anyone who thinks he is from anywhere else 'down under'! A regular on the 2nd XI team Sam brings a soothing presence to fraught matches so is and ideal coach for frantic All Stars sessions! And if anyone needs a fabulous golf partner - Sam's your man.
Archie Leishman
Dynamos
Archie has been part of the club since he was 9 years old and absolutely loves everything about it! He is keen to pass on his love of cricket and as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award will continue coaching the Dynamos on Friday nights. The evenings are always great fun - in particular when paddling pools, water pistols and a BBQ is involved!
Ben Dickson
Dynamos
An all round super star - Ben is a regular on the 2nd XI, Downs League and occasionally 1st XI teams. He is passionate about cricket and has been a great mentor to junior players as they have progressed to playing in the senior matches. He always has an encouraging word for them, helps them keep calm on the pitch and in his spare time has been known to sparkle like a star...
