Secretary Adam Dixon took the time to speak to Cricket Club Magazine ahead of the new campaign. 2014 He told us, “2014 was a reasonable year for the club. We started by losing a number of big players from the 1st XI but we managed to recruit well and secured the services of a good pro from India. The 1st XI challenged for a top 3 place for most of the season before a blip in form found us finishing 5th in the league. The 2nd XI had an outstanding season finishing 4th in their league. We have a young 2nd XI with most of the team being under 19’s so for them to finish as high as they did was a credit to themselves. On the junior front we were delighted to be able to field an under 13 side for the first time in 3 years and establish an under 11 team for the first time. We have had some excellent performances from the young lads in their first seasons and it’s been great to see so many smiles on the lad’s faces after they’ve enjoyed a game.” Everything local at your fingertips!
