There is no bigger worker for Shelley Cricket Club and if there is something to be done you can bet your old boots that Simon will be there.
The photograph is a typical example.
He gives up his Sunday mornings coaching and taking the under 13s at their matches. He is deeply respected by the youngsters.
That doyen of Shelley cricket, Harry Metcalfe, who was always a good judge of ability, classed Simon as one of the best left handed batsmen to play for the club.
The description might be a bit over the top but he certainly has plenty of talent and keeps popping up with a good score.
