Junior Manager
& U8s coach |
Peter Boorman
0781 801 5754 |
‘Stormin' oversees all things to do with junior cricket. He also continues to cling on to his place in the DCC 1 st XI where he opens the batting (when in form!). A decent cricketer in his day … but it's now no longer his day. If you've got any complaints or compliments about the juniors – he's the man to see!

Child Welfare Officer
& U8s coach |
Craig Sharp |
‘Sharpie' has a number of hats. As well as being our CWO, he also performs the role of Club Secretary and opens the batting for either DCC 1 sts or 2 nds – depending on availability! Until last year, Sharpie held the record for the highest individual score by a Dumblie – 175 not out. His best contribution to the club was fathering Will – who looks like he's going to be a much better cricketer than his dad.

Head Coach |
Ron Headley |
‘Big Ron' is our resident ex West Indies test cricketer. Son of the even more famous George Headley and father of Dean ( England ). Nearly 70 years old but fitter than most of our 1 st team … and all of our 2 nd team. Employed by the club to coach our ‘academy' youngsters and our senior players. Also does individual coaching for youngsters of any age for a small fee – let Pete Boorman know if you are interested.

U15s Team Manager |
Tim Cull |
Tim is too nice to have a nickname. He's the one who is almost single-handedly responsible for building our enviable team of U15 cricketers. A seam bowler of limited distinction, he now takes great pleasure in watching his prodigies beat all-comers.

U14s Team Manager |
Peter Eayrs |
Peter has been the U12 manager for the last two years but has now taken on the U14s. Clearly a patient man who enjoys a challenge! An old school Dumblie, Peter played as a batsman for the club for approximately 213 years.

U12s Team Manager |
Wayne Gore |
Our new U12 team manager, Wayne came through the junior ranks at Dumbleton a long time ago and now has a talented son, Jason, who's doing the same thing. Let's hope we do a better job with Jason. Wayne also helps to organise the ‘Stanton Sloggers' who are well known in the area as a distinguished team of ‘Sunday' cricketers! |

U14/15s coach |
Mike Gibson |
‘ Gibbo ' has just retired from the DCC 1 st team (before he was dropped). Spent 2 of his younger years on the books at Leicestershire but is now getting on a bit and it's showing. Heard all the ‘bald bloke' jokes in existence. He's just passed his Level 2 coaching course and can't wait to try out a load of new ideas on our 13-15s

U12s coach |
Tom Green |
‘Tommy G' or ‘Teresa' could well be a future club captain. The best cricketer in his DCC year group (although there were only 3 in total), he now holds the new record for the highest individual score by a Dumblie - 183. He can also bowl very quick when not injured (rare!). A regular DCC 1 st teamer, he also captains our Sunday 1 st team. He's also the man to see about club kit.

U12s coach |
Gareth Reid |
‘ Greidy ' … by both name and nature. His dress sense is questionable but his commitment and enthusiasm are not. Best mates with Tommy G but nowhere near as good at cricket. Has good hands behind the timbers and is a consistently inconsistent middle order batsman.

U10s coach |
John Lawrence |
‘Jonners' is almost certainly the nicest bloke you've ever met. Even at his age, he can still be seen playing the exaggerated front foot defensive at Dumbleton on a Sunday afternoon. Don't be fooled by his dodgy short/sock/shoe combos – he's actually a man of high influence as CEO of a thriving international book empire based in Winchcombe – an ideal bloke to know if you want a summer job! |

U10s coach |
George Prudden |
‘Big George' is an icon of Dumbleton youth cricket. He has just graduated from the DCC juniors and is now a regular DCC 1 st teamer. A big hitter in every sense, he's also now becoming an accomplished bowler. He's been a regular in the county junior squads – so all that coaching means he's in a great position to help our younger kids develop.

U8s coach |
Nick Holland |
‘Dutch' is new addition to the coaching team this year. Another DCC 1 st teamer, he's a high quality batsman who's gradually making his way down the batting order and into the 2nds. Static in the field, even when trying to run. Son-in-law of Ray Julian, our ex international umpire. Works for a brewery – which is why we keep picking him.
