Matt Oliver - Purleigh CC

Matt Oliver profile

Matt "The Greenfingered Matt Oliver, The Driftking" Oliver
No relation to Jordan. Joint groundsman and resident giant pumpkin expert/TV star. Has a nice beard. Middle order batsman and one of the club's glut of wicketkeepers which means he is often asked to show his speed in the outfield and bowl the odd spell of away drift.
