Monday 14th May- DCCC Academy v Yorkshire

The Derbyshire Senior Women commenced their league season with a home fixture at the county ground against Northamptonshire on Sunday 6^th May. This season sees a young Derbyshire side strengthened by the return of Bec Vernon from injury.

Charlotte Horton (pictured) also returns to her home county after 3 years away playing with Nottinghamshire. Sribala Sunderam retains the captaincy, and along with the currently injured Sally Green makes up the only 4 players over the age of 21, showing the commitment to a balance of experience and youth...

A mixed Academy and Mini Academy team played Repton School 1^st XI last Friday (4^th May) on a cold and wet evening at Repton, in what proved to be a low scoring game all round.

Repton batted first and made 112 in their 20 overs with boundaries hard to come by on a slow pitch and against some tight bowling by the academy bowlers; in particular Greg Massingham was impressive taking 3 for 13 of his 4 overs of leg spin.

The Academy began their 2012 season with a game against Ticknall CC in the Premier Challenge on Sunday 14^th April. The Academy batted first and made a steady start with both Tom Hamilton and Matt Hughes looking comfortable. After Hughes was out for 20, Captain Matt Fletcher joined Tom Hamilton and they continued to put away the bad ball and bat sensibly to put on over a 100 together, Hamilton out for 90 and Fletcher 66. Then a late cameo from Pete Burgoyne of 32 not out saw the academy to 255-5 on their 50 overs.

In response Ticknall started well, Luke Harvey and Jonny Thompstone putting on 109 for the first wicket before Thompstone was bowled by Burgoyne, who ended up with 3 wickets. Harvey continued to bat well and looked in really good form for such an early season game before he was 6th out for a well made 92 and after that Ticknall’s innings fell away slightly with them finishing 204 all out. Greg Cork and Tom Knight also took 2 wickets each.

This is a good start for the academy who played some solid cricket without ever really playing at their best and we look forward to some more games as the season progresses.

Injuries aren’t something anybody wants to think about but they do happen!

The treatment you receive during this phase is a vital part of speed and quality of recovery.

Cricket injuries aren’t always easily diagnosed and treated by physiotherapists from other sports. The opening of James Pipe’s Physiotherapy Clinic, previously Derbyshire’s 1^st team keeper and current 1^st team physio has created an opportunity for all players to access somebody with a specialist knowledge in cricket.
