NUMBER 4 - Dillon Lewis

Dillon has been brought up in a household where cricket and football have been part of its way of life in Hakin, Herbrandston, & St Ishmaels – and today he tells us just a little more about his own sporting involvement . . .
 
Age 13

Club played for:
Hakin Football Club
Herbrandston senior cricket team
St Ishmaels Junior Team

People who have helped me:

Cricket: Wendy Bradshaw, Ian Milsom, Craig Butland (PE teacher) Clarissa Lewis, Simon Williams (regional coach) and especially my dad, Jonny Lewis.


Football: Jonny Lewis, Jamie Roberts, Craig Butland, Tom Wheeler, Craig Power and Tristan Carlson, A special mention to Tristan who has coached me for my whole football career so far since under 7’s.


Position in football: – I can play up front or in defence. As a striker I love scoring goals and as a defender I enjoy the battles.

Successes:

League Runners up last season in football and cup winners in football too.

Runner up in the under 13’s cricket last season.

Playing my first senior cricket


Favourite local player:

In football it used to be Nicky Woodrow but now he’s retired it’s Jack Britton (both Hakin United)
In cricket it would be Ross Hardy (Neyland) and Ian Milsom (Herbrandston); I can’t pick between them.


Favourite top sportsman:

Marcus Rashford and Ben Stokes;  both absolutely amazing talents and make the sport thrilling for fans and get you on the edge of your seats.

Andrew Salter as I would love to follow in his footsteps with Glamorgan, because I love going to watch them alongside  Manchester United and Hakin United seniors. ‎



Ambitions:

To play for Herbrandston in Division One cricket and Hakin United in football.

I just want to make my parents and grandparents and coaches proud of me.
