Young Child Growing Up

We're thrilled to hear news of Jeremy "Young Child" Preece. For those of you unfortunate enough never to meet Jezza, he is a force of nature, a perpetual motion (and talking) machine, a fine swing bowler, a brilliant fielder (who could forget the superb catch in the mist versus MUFS in what turned out to be the 2004 Div 2 title decider?) and, pre-Bainbro, the Cross's most enthusiastic barbecuer. Recruited from the University where he was studying medicine, Jezza took to the Cross in a big way. Anyway, here's what he wrote -

Just been checking up on yous all through the website. Looks very nice and means I can keep in touch. Sounds like a good season for the 1s so far. Unfortunately I'm going to be stuck in Devon now for the foreseeable future but I suspect there will still be a regular trip north to catch up... Not playing much cricket at all either - curse the working life. Still, other things going well - in fact, getting married in March.... And you can let Dougie know that it's not a wee nursie but another doctor... Will hope to be up soon to catch up with one and all but please send on my regards and the best of luck for the rest of the season - C'mon the cross!

  1. Still remember the sudden impact he made:
    taking 3-25 in his 1st league game before 4-10 in our epic victory vs Livingston.

    and then there was the 5-8 he took when he turned up straight from a party somewhat less than sober.
