Hampshire Academy will have some pace up front when they play in the ECB Southern Premier League next summer. Hampshire Cricket has fought off competition from a number of counties to sign promising young Oxfordshire bowler Rory Hipwell to their Academy.
The 16-year old fast-bowler caught the eye of the Hampshire coaching staff representing South and West at the ESCA Bunbury Festival – an annual event designed to discover and nurture the talents of many young cricketers from across the country.
Hipwell who is a pupil at St Edwards School, Oxford and plays his club cricket for Horspath Cricket Club, will begin training at the Ageas Bowl next month ahead of the 2016 season. 
Head of Player Development at Hampshire Cricket, Charlie Freeston said: “We are delighted that Rory has decided to join us at Hampshire, he is a very high potential young fast bowler and we are looking forward to working with him at the Ageas Bowl this winter and also watching him perform in a Hampshire shirt for the 2016 season.”
Rory Hipwell said: “I very much look forward to joining Hampshire. It is an opportunity that I could have only dreamed of when I started playing cricket years ago. I will look to cherish every moment that I have to train in such a professional and quality environment and make my cricket the best it could ever be.”
