A good all round sportsman and certainly one for the ladies. Hits the ball hard at the top of the innings, and can always be found not too far away from a mirror.

The Freak is a Dorset country boy and can often be seen chewing on some barley, although I do draw the line at his insistence on smoking it. Not really sure of his role in the squad, but as long as the Freaks around the rest of us can't help but look good.

So called because of his red eyes. Self confessed rum addict, with skin the colour of well-cooked sausages. Very talented all round cricketer, opens the innings with regular success.

Mr Dependable, ‘Dirk’ bowls an impeccable length both on and off the pitch. A handy left hander, again both on and off the pitch. Faints at the sight of blood.

Not exactly known for his athletic prowess, ‘Knees’ has reconstructive surgery performed every 3^rd Sunday. A devoted player, with that subtle hint of ginger in his hair. Club Chairman

‘Billy’ shares an uncanny resemblance with William Hague, the difference being that Billy is popular. Works wonders with the scorebook, and is a very useful slower bowler.

Named Flipper because of his comic way of catching the ball. Very enthusiastic player and reserve wicket keeper, tends not to hang around when batting.

A ‘bonus’ is what you’d get if you ever indulged in a spot of bedroom gymnastics with this fella..!! A good eye, good arm, from Bolton, but you can’t help bad luck.

Dave Guy alias ‘Monkey’ 

The hairiest man in the world and also the mainstay of our batting. Blessed with a good eye and a woman’s arm, a comedy moment is never to far away from the ‘Monkey’

A man of true class, he's appreciation for French brass band music is legendary amongst the rank and file of the Castaways. Bats like a demented Octopus but bowls like a dream, just wait for the crowd to start shouting 'Timber'.

A useful left arm seamer bowler and hard hitting lower order batsman, can always be heard bragging about his own achievements in the changing room but apparently 'That's Amore'

‘D-Cup’ has an iron constitution as well as an iron bra, at his age gravity is certainly not in his favour. Provides useful medium pace and can score quick runs in the middle order.

Beguiling and bewitching with the ball in his hand. Cuppa is a proven wicket taker but sadly comes with a Doctors note declaring long periods of sick leave from the side.

Another one of the hairy brigade, if he takes off his shirt it looks like he's wearing a polar neck sweater. Wicketkeeper of note, and also showed his use with the ball in last years Mayor's match.

The happiest man in the world, never happier than when he’s sharing a laugh and a joke with nobody. Front line bowler and a dangerous hitter. Can often be found playing with his dog or his new mobile.

The President of our beloved club. The Colonel is a stickler for the rules. A tad eccentric at times, especially when umpiring. Never given a correct LBW decision in his life. 

Former Southend stallion, The Menace brings his own personality to the team. Genuine finger spinner and lower middle order bat, certainly one for your fantasy team.

Resident Bi-lingual-ist, which comes in handy for tour games especially against any English speaking teams. Fenners bowls some handy off spin and is incredibly keen, and I mean incredibly, in the field.

The proud sheep worrying Welshman is a useful left arm seamer and cat like in the field. Known universally as the man with no tan.
