Over the season we used 15 players in the Championship, with eight (Smith, MacVicar, Bone, Blake, Ellis, Tryfonos, Leathley and  Rowe) playing in all four games. There were championship debuts for three players – WWJ Rowe, BM Taylor, and CL Cooke. No player was capped.

 

Alex Blake made 312 runs at an average of 62.40, including the highest score of 160no. Paul Smith (133) also hit a century. Will MacVicar was the leading wicket-taker with 19 wickets at 15.26 each. He also had 10 wicket match figures (12-131) and the season-best of 8-46. The highest partnership was the 152 by Paul Smith & Ellis Whiteford for the county record tenth wicket against Cheshire.

.

In his financial report, Treasurer Keith Hore reported a deficit of almost £15k for the year. 

On a positive note, it was encouraging to report significant progress as new sponsorships were being gained to redress the balance.
