1st XI in the county championship. He has done so with a
huge amount of success and has recently been awarded a 3
year contract with the club. Charlie moved from Kingswood
school to King's to progress his cricket further. He talks
regularly about the fact that if he hadn't made this transition
he probably wouldn't be where he is today. He holds King's
very close to his heart and regularly comes back to visit to
chat to Dennis Breakwell or Phil and to look around the
wonderful developments that are continually happening at
King's. We wish Charlie further success for this season and
for many seasons to come.
