First Winter Signing Anounced
During his time at Perran, Tom has developed into a fine Bowling all rounder. His figures speak for themselves having taken 69 league wickets at an average of 18.45. The high point came in 2008 when he took 6 for 26 in the match which Perran memorably bowled Camborne out for 84. 2009 saw Thomas lead Perran's bowling attack with 32 wickets.
I am sure that everybody involved with Troon, especially Tom's Parents Ian & Chris, will warmly welcome Thomas home and wish him the best of luck for the coming season.
