YOUNG, Thomas (Tom) Andrew DATE OF BIRTH: 3 September 1991, Newport, Gwent, South Wales. BRITISH CAREER: (2009-10) Newport II. 2010 STARTING AVERAGE: 3.00 (NL). ADDITIONAL INFO: Young sustained a broken wrist in the opening heat of Newport Hornets’ Knock-Out Cup encounter versus Bournemouth at Queensway Meadows on 26 April 2009. He was subsequently replaced in the side’s declared line-up by Grant Tregoning at the beginning of May. However, having recovered, Young came back into the Hornets’ squad in the No. 8 position at the tail-end of June, when he took the place of Rich Andrews.
In November, Newport confirmed that the youngster would again appear for their National League side in 2010. And he was to average in excess of 5 points a match for his hometown outfit, but was sidelined after suffering concussion in a National Trophy encounter at the Isle of Wight on 21 September. This occurred in heat seven of the meeting, when he lost control and fell in front of team-mate Tim Webster.
