Dian Forrester player coach for Cricket Season 2022

Aberdeenshire CC extends a very warm welcome to Dian Forrester our player coach for Cricket Season 2022

Aberdeenshire CC is pleased to announce the arrival of Dian Forrester our Player Coach for this season. Dian is a 21 year old all rounder from South Africa and a level 2 qualified coach who will be assisting us with our Club coaching, at all levels and age groups throughout the summer. He will also be involved in our Schools coaching program with Albyn School. Dian will play an important part in our quest to gain promotion back to the Eastern Premier League and to help mentor and develop our very young team along with Club Captain Kenny Reid.

Dian’s home team is the University of Pretoria (TUKS) who are the dominant force in the Northern Premier League and are coached by one of our past professionals Kruger Van Wyk, who was himself responsible for developing a number of our past players. Back in South Africa Dian has played representative cricket at U17, U18 and U19 levels and has been a member of the Titans Cubs Franchise since 2018. Dian is a top order left handed bat and right arm opening bowler.

At home in S.A. Dian has been heavily involved in coaching young cricketers from age 4 upwards and is familiar with our own All stars cricket program as it is very similar to the South African version designed to introduce boys and girls to the game.

As in past seasons our Overseas Coach is available to coach boys and girls on a one to one or small group basis throughout the season via private arrangement.

Please take a moment the next time you are at the Club to say hello to Dian and extend a warm welcome to him.

Dale de Neef
Director of Cricket
