Steve Taylor arrived from Jamaica in 1973 and became an apprentice engineer. He took sports and recreation qualifications and became involved in local sports. Steve went on to teach physical education at the former Earl Marshall School.

“I was also involved with the Caribbean sports facility and I helped to establish the former Devon Malcolm School for cricket, alongside Chris Searle and Owen Gittens.”

Along with his colleague, Sajid, Steve is now leading the way for further cricket activity for Burngreave and surrounding area. They are working together to create Burngreave’s first under 11s cricket team that will play in Sheffield Under 11s Cricket League.

Training is presently taking place every Monday and Wednesday at Earl Marshal Sports Centre 6–7pm.

This initiative is supported by Burngreave Sports Development team sponsored by BNDfC. For any further information or to get involved please contact Katy Burnett or Jeffrey Maltby on 249 1626.
