Tim Hebblethwaite

Tim Hebblethwaite learned his Fives at Bradfield College under David Barnes, captaining the 1^st IV for 2 years and then went on to play — after a 24-year hiatus! — with the Edward Alleyn Fives Club in Dulwich. A right-hander, his initial tournament successes were winning the South East Open Doubles with Nick Woolfenden in 2017 and the prestigious RFA President’s Cup with Emrys Thursfield in 2021. In the 2023-24 season Tim won the Doubles Plate at the South East Open; then at the Veterans (over 45s) he was runner-up in the Singles and won the Doubles Plate.  Tim is a keen player in the Old Bradfieldians squad, with three Owers Trophy runners-up medals to date. Last season Tim added a second President’s Cup win with Shinan Zhang and then a first Veterans Doubles title with Tom Maconie. The Edward Alleyn Fives Club reckon he was their Player of the Year!
