Simon Peter Beare (born 2 July 1979) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played six first-class and six List A matches for Otago between the 2001/02 and 2004/05 seasons.[1] [2]
Beare was born at Hamilton in 1979 and played age-group cricket for Northern Districts sides. He made his senior debut for Otago in a List A match against Central Districts in January 2002 before going on to make his first-class debut the following month against the same side.[2]
In 2005, he signed a contract with Workington Cricket Club in England to coach the side and play in the North Lancashire and Cumbria League first division.[3] Workington won the Higson Cup and finished third in the league in Beare's first season, with an innings of 215 in the Higson cup final.[4] [5] The side won the league title in 2007 and 2008, but due to a change in the rules surrounding the use of player-coaches, Beare was no longer able to play in league matches for the side.[6] He played for Callington Cricket Club in the Cornwall Cricket League between 2009 and 2011 before he was able to return to play for Workington in 2012.[2]
