That combination sounds like he's on the road to taking up Hurling ! Get him a stick ? Failing that...STFC shirt or Gloucester RFC shirt or any Mr Gum book !

My kids at that age were really into action figures, either based round films/TV programmes (e.g. the appalling Ben10) or just stuff like knights and dragons etc. Not very sporty, I know, but if he's a rugby and cricket but not football fan he clearly doesn't like proper sport anyway  Maybe a Real Ale Guide?

Many happy break times at school with that game. It was possible to develop a consistent roll to rack up some impressive scores.

I really hope you're referring to the gum and not some sort of public school euphemism for favours in the showers

I don't have any littluns (yet) . Looks like Hungry Hippos could be a winner (I can't get world cup cricket delivered in time, next year - looks ace!)
