YOUR 'NEW ROVERS'
ROVERS Cricket Club are aiming to restore its glory days within a new framework to run the club.
After the problems of raising teams in recent seasons, Rovers have rebranded to become solely Rovers CC again after the slow disintegration of its well-intended but ultimately unsuccessful merger with St Pierre CC.
The Port Soif based club - the only club to have its very own ground - have put in place a new back room team which will leave Lee Savident, the former Hampshire professional and island all-rounder, scope to concentrate fully on captaining the first XI.
He will be assisted by a team manager and 4 experienced directors with responsibilities for social media/website, direct liaison with the
GCB and Domestic Cricket Committee, commercial opportunities and player recruitment and development.
The new back room team comprises Martin Gray, who has responsibility for social media and the website, Rob Batiste, liaison with the GCB and DCC, Andy Bisson, development and general 1st XI team manager, Stuart Bisson, commercial opportunities.
Another former player, Richard Hamilton, is providing background support.
Paul Porter, chairman of the parent club which also oversees football and archery, said he was confident that the new structure would lead the club back to the very top and adding to its still record number of Evening League titles.
'We have the ground, we have a good score of players, but the past few seasons have been a bit of a struggle on and off the pitch,' he said.
'The template for our new structure comes under the heading 'Shared Ownership' as we believe that a group of individuals all performing key but not overwhelming tasks, is easier to find and work effectively, than one over-burdened person who will soon turn away from the job exhausted and disillusioned.'
Rovers captain Lee Savident said he welcomed the assistance and said that while a full return to the clubs's great days would not happen overnight, they had made a strong start.
'I don't think we are at all far from being an evening league title winning side again and with this new framework it will free me up to concentrate on the team.'
For 2017 season, Rovers will play in a new kit reflecting the clubs's TWO sponsors.
They are long-term club supporters Odey Wealth who have kindly agree to a three-year extension, and Guernsey Autism.
Full details of Guernsey Autism's support and this exciting new link with Rovers, will be announced shortly.
