Andrew Hailstone 1st XI Captain

With the new season now upon us, the first team are hoping to build on a good season last year in which they third in the first division. Last season was encouraging for many reasons, firstly for the resilience of the side, whenever we appeared in trouble someone always came to the fore,. New Marske continued ther unbeaten start to the season with an hard fought draw against Ormesby Hall A. Hall scored 182 for 7 from their allotted overs and New Marske secured a draw being 121 for 6 at the close see match report.

Last Season the team was represented on the league top ten players board on no fewer than five occasions. Stuart Wood finished second in the league batting averages scoring 514 runs at an average of over 45, Gary and Jez Alderson both scoring over 300 runs in the season and Geoff Taggart scoring over 200 runs. .

The Bowling department was represented well with Geoff Taggart finishing second in the league rankings with 37 wickets at 7.83 a piece and Chip Robson finishing fourth in the league average with 28 wickets at 10 a piece and Tim Broome getting 28 wickets at under 12 a piece..

We look forward to the new season with many positives, Gary Alderson is now back bowling at full pace again and will be a welcome addition to the bowling attack. An influx of quality new players will really help us in our goal of beating last years second place finish.

The way the players have responded to an elongated series of nets was very encouraging the turnout was the best we have ever had and the general levels of fitness of the team is well ahead of what it was at the same stage last season.
