Neil McHugh  (Bonehead)
All Rounder

Squad number - 12. A knowledgeable and thoughtful cricketer who has reinvented himself as a useful wicketkeeper. The batting has deteriorated though and he needs to rediscover his top form quickly. Sadly appearances were curtailed due to the Beeb's move to Salford and since returning opting to play for NECC on a Sunday but is now back to play for the 'Pink and Black' army from the 2016 season! A very welcome return indeed when not watching GAA on a Sunday or injured!

Awards: 2009 - Top Bowler

Paul Sindrey  (Sinders aka The Bad Boy)
Bowler

Squad number -13. Totally transformed himself during the 2008 pre season to become a fast and aggressive bowler.

Now only plays in the odd T20 match when he can get on the beer even before the game starts! Awards: 2007 - Sixes League Winner

Rob Tona  (Robsie)
Batsman

Squad number - 19. Another who plays directly from the text book, and accumulates runs rather than blasts them. A shrewd tactician and offers the team mature thoughts when most needed.

Squad number - 10. Rosaneri's Ian Botham. Smashes the ball hard with the bat, but pays little attention to the coaching manual. Has now scored three centuries to demonstrate the high level he has reached. Has also developed into a tidy bowler who on his day is hard to score runs off and can also don the the wicket keeping gloves to good effect as well. Falls in and out of love with the game on an almost daily basis but did start up the Bloaterette player recruitment agency during one of his good days. (Pictured here with friend of the club Matt Dawson, World Cup winning rugby star). Awards: 2007 - Leading Run Scorer & Top Batsman

Ben Underwood  
Batsman

Squad number - 22. A solid batsman who is sound defensively, but also capable of scoring runs quickly. Athletic and enthusiastic in the field which a real bonus for any Captain and he can also turn his arm over with good effect. Sadly a career ending back injury seems to have put pay to his playing days.

Stephen Underwood  
Bowler

Squad number - 17. A talented player who offers very accurate medium paced bowling and whose batting comes straight from the manual. Stephen's bowling is super economical and batsmen have found him really hard to get off the square. This miserly bowling has now seen him notch up over a century of maidens for the Club to go with his 100+ appearances. Awards: 2008 - Top Bowler & Maiden Challenge Winner; 2013 - Maiden Challenge Winner; 2015 - Top Bowler; 2016 - Maiden Challenge Winner; 2018 - Top Bowler & Maiden Challenge Winner; 2022 - Top Bowler

Tom Underwood  
All Rounder

Squad number 84 - Yet another player off of the Underwood cricketing conveyor belt. Excellent in the field and already showing great abilities with both bat and ball at a young age.

Ben Undwerwood (Jnr)  
All Rounder

Squad Number 50 - Another player off of the Underwood cricketing conveyor belt. Ben will be hoping to reach the batting heights of his dad and match the bowling exploits of his uncle Stephen over the coming years. Became only the second ever RCC player to take a hat-trick against Navestock CC in 2019.

Julian Weenen  (Jules)
Bowler

Squad number - 46. The first recruit to the 'Pinks' from the Bloaterette player agency. A very useful bowler whose economical run up means that he could bowl all day - or at least until the bar is open. The less said about his batting the better.

Ben White  
Batsman

Squad Number - 80. A talented player who connected with us through our Twitter account. A fine opening batsmen, agile fielder and can roll his arm over with good effect as well.

Rosemary Wilkins  (Baz)
Batsman

Squad number - 60. Rosemary is Rosaneri CC's first female cricketer and what an addition to the squad she is! Comprehensively out performed her fiance, now husband, 'Slaps' in her first ever game and the RCC fans cannot wait for more of the same in future appearances. Awards: 2017 - Ducks League Winner

Alex Williams  (Big Al or Keown!)
All Rounder

Squad Number - 52. A fine opening batsman, medium pace bowler and all round cricketer who now and then shows off his talent in the colours of the 'Pinks' when he can. Sadly not seen since those fist couple of appeareneces.

Steve Williams  (Kirk or The Finisher)
Bowler

Squad Number - 16. Steve 'Kirk' Williams, as well as being an elegant bowler with an action similar to late great Fred Trueman is also Rosaneri FC's all time leading goal scorer. Those football days are long over now and it is great to see the 'Finisher' now in his whites. Kirk is also the clubs official auditor.

The Youngsters  (The Juniors)
All Rounder

Joe Alfieri - Squad Number 71 - Batsman - A stylist left handed batsman who holds the record score for a Rosaneri colt with 14 runs scored against Hadley Wood Green in 2016. Sadly with his dad not now playing we do not see Joe either. Tom Cox - Squad Number 48 - All Rounder - An up and coming all rounder who took a wicket with his first ball in adult cricket and then followed it up with another in the same over! Sadly appearance have dwindled in-line with his dads. Tom Downing - Squad Number 97 - A young player just learning the game and what a great teacher he has in his dad the Skipper! Ethan Jackson - Squad Number 67 - Bowler - A young and upcoming fast bowler in the mold of his dad who bowls off the longest run we have ever seen! Again not seen for a while due to his dads injury issues. Ben Mitchell - Bowler - A developing aggressive bowler (just like his dad) who again took a wicket with his first ball in adult cricket and also finished up with two victims in his first match. More likely to play against us for Enfield CC than for us these days. Ollie Weenen - Squad Number 66 - Bowler - A steady and controlled medium pace/swing bowler very much in the mould of his dad who says Ollie has taught him all he knows about the game of cricket! Another who is more likely to play against us for Enfield CC than for us these days.
