​Ryan Covey’s career has gone full circle. After sampling Premier Division cricket with Sarisbury Athletic and Alton in recent seasons, he plans to be back opening the batting for Liphook & Ripsley, his hometown club, next summer.
The 28-year old described it as a “family decision” to return to Liphook, whom he helped reach the National Village Cup final at Lord’s in September 2018.
“My brother has moved back to the area after a couple of years away and will be playing at Liphook again next season, plus we have a lot of friends at the club with children around the same age as my little lad, so it will be a lot better for them having friends and family around on match days.
“I’m at the stage now where I am not really too fussed about the standard I play anymore. I’ve given the Premier Division a good go, but now it’s just about enjoying Saturday afternoons with friends and family.
“We’ll be trying to push for promotion from Southern Premier League Division 2 and hopefully we’ll have another good run in the Village Cup.”
Covey has scored over 3,000 SPL runs for Liphook, made 819 in his 2015/16 seasons at Sarisbury Athletic, and made 549 playing Premier Division cricket for Alton in 2019.
He celebrated his maiden SPL hundred playing for Alton, making an unbeaten 100 in a successful run chase against Havant. That late season century came after he suffered the acute disappointment of being run out for 99 at Bournemouth a few weeks earlier.
