Tom Watkinson

Tom started playing fives in 2011 at Winchester College, eventually becoming the first National Schools U18 winner from Winchester since R. de W.K. Winlaw in 1931. After a brief break from the sport Tom has risen swiftly through the rankings, known for his work effort and never say die attitude. The 2023-2024 season has seen a breakthrough for Tom, who has now won three open titles and risen rapidly in the rankings. He is a member of the West of England Club IV who have twice won the Wood Cup in recent seasons. [November 2023]
