| Name: Dave Phillips
Dave, (left of ptcture), has been playing for Cheddar since he was 10 years old, going through the youth system extremely successfully and culminating as him being selected as captain for the under 15’s. He has matured extremely well as a good all-rounder, despite playing for Wedmore for a season when he couldn’t get in to the Cheddar squad at the age of 14, Cheddar snapped him up the following season for the seconds after a string of successful appearances for Wedmore. He hasn’t looked back since, cementing himself a spot in the Second team batting currently as an opener, and bowling occasionally as well. David has also had numerous trials for Somerset, unfortunately not succeeding to get into the full squad, but he succeeded in getting into the Somerset corners team quite a few years in a row, and in one of the games he scored a half-century. David is really looking forward to this season, looking to improve on last year in which he was an integral part in Cheddars success of nearly getting promoted thanks to his opening batting, eager fielding, and knack of picking up wickets when he bowled. It is with no doubt that he would like to bowl more this season as well to really boost his repertoire as an all-rounder, and continue improving with his batting, producing more of his famed cover drives.
