Josh Winterton takes on the role of First XI Captain. Wicketkeeper batter Josh has been with the club since 2016 and replaces Scott Steel as First XI and Club Captain. Josh has been with us for some of our greatest triumphs - featuring in league and County Cup winning sides.
Sam Gale is the second of our new leaders - Sam has been with the club since his junior days and brings a wealth of experience and will lead the Second XI this season. Gale has a tough act to follow with Steven Ingram relinquishing the role having led the side to its highest ever league finish in Division One. Gale has skippered the side before, serving as vice-captain, but now steps into the role full time.
In only his second year at the club, Tom Fraser has stepped in as Third XI skipper, taking over from Mikey Phillips, who moves back into the ranks. Fraser joined us from Rothley Park at the start of the 2024 season.
No stranger to skippering our sides, our new Fourth XI skipper is Danny Hill. Having previously led the Third XI, Hill replaces James Challinor who led the side to back to back promotions in his two seasons at the helm.
Leading our Ladies XI is Emily Marriott. Like Fraser, Marriott joined us at the start of the 2024 season and has a significant impact on the side. She replaces Molly Satterthwaite as skipper.
Our final new captain is our Sunday XI skipper is Sam Davies. Davies has been around the club since Under 11s and is also our All Stars lead. He replaces Nathan Preston as skipper of the Sunday side, having held the role for a number of years.
Finally, Josh Cundy will continue his role as Thursday XI skipper. Josh has done a brilliant job with the side and we look forward to that continuing in 2025.
Good luck to all of the skippers and their sides ahead of the new season.
