As you may have seen on the club site, Howard Dytham has announced his side for the Derbyshire Cup Final on Sunday. Dytham has done an outstanding job with the colts this summer and this is a last big hurrah for some of the side. The side in full:
Ben Slater (c), Edward Ikin, Hamza Siddique, Tom Hamilton, Matt Fletcher, Peter Burgoyne, Chris Durham, Matt Sanderson, Greg Cork, Johny Marsden, Will Davis and 12th man Greg Massingham.
That is a strong side, though missing Tom Knight who will be travelling to the Oval with the first eleven. So too will Matt Lineker, so Ockbrook and Borrowash will miss their talismanic opening batsman and useful slow left arm bowler, as evidenced by his 3-1 last weekend.
The weather still looks dodgy, but it will be a great contest between the experience of O and B and the youth of a talented Academy setup. My heart hopes for an Academy win, though my head says that the experience of the likes of Kevin Dean, Jake Needham, Trevor Smith et al could be crucial. Whatever the result, the success of the Academy side is vindication of the work going on at that level and could just be the start of something special.
