A multiple title winner with Bootle, he came to Southport when Cunningham took over as skipper in 2021 with a mutually beneficial brief - he’d provide crucial experience and runs; the club would give him time in the middle to prolong his career with England’s over-50s side. It’s not the easiest league to learn your trade - taking the new ball if you haven't done it before, or being front-line spinner if you haven't been one before. BOOTLE'S hopes of retaining the title lie in tatters after a crushing 106-run defeat at the hands of fellow contenders Ormskirk.It's just about working on things that I'm already good at, and being consistent in what I'm doing and putting the batters under as much pressure as I can. Ormskirk, Leigh and Northern completed 2022’s top four; any one of those could be a serious challenge to Wallasey’s crown this year. Wigan, New Brighton and Southport & Birkdale have strengthened; Formby too will be looking for a big improvement on last year’s struggles.

Sides like Northern and Ormskirk will be really strong, as they always are, but we’re not going to turn up there just to get rolled over.Charles Taylor’s six years as captain saw the Bull Hey side rise from the lower half of Division One to fifth in the Premier Division last year. As Beaver sets out to become the first captain to defend the title since David Snellgrove at Bootle in 2007, he’s promised there’ll be no let-up in his approach to the game. He and several teammates have close links with North Wales League side Northop - fierce rivals of the Comp’s Northop Hall - and Bay always set their sights on progress in the Welsh Cup. Evans made his debut during another “transition period” around the turn of the century, and was part of a crop of players who grew into a successful unit together. Will Higginson rejoins the squad from Northop Hall, while off-spinning all-rounder Fabid Ahmed will arrive from India.
