"During my playing career I was a leg-spin bowler myself, so I know first hand what it takes to be a slow bowler. At times it is a tough task being a spin bowler, however, with the right education and guidence, along with plenty of hard work, being a spin bowler can be a very rewarding position within any cricket team. I hope I can be of assistance in the future. Good luck and play well." Mark McInnes - Head Coach.
