An incredible amount of hard work has gone into the preparation of both
the ground and the cricket organisation during the close season to ensure
that BCC can boost our reputation both on and off the field during the coming
months.
The grounds team have been hard at work preparing the outfield, the wicket
and extending the white picket fencing to enhance the already beautiful,
picturesque welcome for all who visit.
Huge thanks from all at Brixham Cricket Club to the grounds team who put
an incredible amount of their own time in at the Club to make it welcoming
for all.
On the cricketing side Mark Orchard continues as the 1st XI Captain. After
coming so close to a second promotion in successive seasons Mark has looked
to strengthen the side in the hope of vying for promotion this season.
BCC welcomes back Mark Newman who has had a few seasons with Stoke Gabriel
since he last played at Brixham.


We welcome to the Club, Matt Stringfellow from New Zealand. Matt is a 19
year old all- rounder who plays in the Wairarapa Premier League for his
Club, Lansdowne.
He has represented Wairarapa provincial side. He is a top order right handed
batsman and compliments this with his off spin which will bring a varied
look to the Brixham bowling attack of last season.
Matt will be joined from New Zealand by 19 year old Mitch Renwick. Mitch
is a wicketkeeper batsman who holds a UK/EU passport. He plays for provisional
side Manawatu.
Both have made a good impression in the short space of time they have been
in Brixham.
The Club also welcomes back Mark Gilmour for his second season with us.
He made a big impression on the field taking 42 wickets and scoring 310
runs in his first season.
Another season like that will ensure the side has another fruitful campaign.
The season looks full of promise and hopefully with the additions made Mark
and his team will be challenging for promotion all season.
The 2nd XI is led by Sam Thomas who has replaced Wes Fowler as Captain.
Wes will continue to play and offer Sam advice as he gets to grips with
the role.
Sam will look for a quick start to the season this year after going very
close to promotion last season after a slow start.
Sam should have a stronger side this year with the experience a lot of the
younger players gained last season in both the 2nd XI and the Sunday League
side and the strengthening of the 1st XI. Mike Meech, Rhys Dallow, Matt
Parsons and Tom Hopper will all be crucial to the team and making their
own bids for promotion to the 1st XI squad.
Good Luck to all and enjoy your season!
