Sam started playing fives at St Paul’s School in 2007, where he quickly took to the game winning the U14 national schools singles and doubles. While he is yet to replicate schoolboy success on the adult circuit, he is a staple at tournaments up and down the country and one of the creators of the Fives Pod.

Keeping it in the locker for a very special day
I used to love travelling to the annual BUSF tournament with the Durham Team – it was held in Sherborne in my second year, where I beat my old friend and on-court rival Theo Parker in the last 16 having saved 5 match points, so that was the best of the lot.
