Chris has been with the club since the very beginning and has seen the highs and lows. Chris has also been manager, coach, chairman, however he now has the Club President role. The players constantly call Chris 'Mr President'. Chris is married to Bev and like Bev he is also Spitfires through and through. Chris dedicates his time to marking out the pitches every week and cutting the grass. It almost seems as if Chris spends most of his time at South Marston. Chris has achieved a lot with the club and hopes that they can achieve a lot more for the future.

No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
