Fishermen Look Forward To 2024

Tuesday October 10th, 2023 Since GM Laverick left us to become the PEBA Commissioner and I assumed the mantle of Owner & GM I have maintained a media blackout as I become accustomed to the dual roles. Now I feel that the time is right to speak out on our 2023 season. In 2023 we […]

A tale for the All Star break concludes

Kusatsu, Japan. I think my father still lives in the times when I made my pro debut, he just doesn’t see the 13 years that have passed since. After being drafted by London in the first round in 2010 I had spent the summer in Maui, not soaking up the sun but making my first […]

Fishing new waters?

December 15th, 2021   It’s been a surreal couple of weeks in charge of the Gloucester Fishermen, all around me in the offices the business of off season continues unabated and in the pages of the local papers the trade & Free Agents rumours abound.
