Talented all-round sportsman Roy Kirby added to his list of honours by driving into office as the new captain of Lyneham.

Kirby, 60, was best known in his youth as a footballer for Oxford City - he later managed the reserves - and a cricketer for Headington United.

But he was also good enough at rugby to be selected for South of England Schools.

Originally from Headington, but now living in Shipton-under-Wychwood, Kirby joined Lyneham ten years ago and now has a handicap of 18.

He works as the print and production manager for a financial publishing company in Abingdon.

The club's new ladies' captain is Kathy McTavish, a former export director of blanket manufacturers Earley's from Witney.

After playing for only four years, she has reduced her handicap to 22.

The captains' chosen charities for the year are the Meningitis Trust, Cancer Research and Leukaemia Research. The club are holding a charity day on May 30.

The drive-in was preceeded by a match between teams raised by the new captains. Eighty players took part, with Kirby's team winning narrowly.
