The southern jessie has returned to the club after spending a season as an ethnic minority playing for Syston. Proven at 2nd team level to be a consistent supplier of runs and if he has a good season could be a real asset for the side. Is possibly the only player in the history of the Everards League to go from Division 7 to the Premier League and back again all within the space of 12 months? Not through any cricketing decision- more a strange and worrying affliction that results in me actually enjoying playing with the northern monkeys that are Cosby CC

Bowl: Right Arm Leg Spin (When I bowl!)
Field: Mid off/on - handy for moving sight screens

A mixed season for the Chris Griffin wannabe at times bowled really well, at times bowled like a drain and at times spent entire matches standing at mid off waiting for a bowl as the seamers got whacked all around Melton only to be told it's not a slow bowlers wicket (their slowy got 3 wickets, cheers skip).

Potentially found romance at Rothley after fetching a ball from the adjacent cow field and scaring the entire herd of cows away only for one of them to return and moo at him for the remainder of the match.

Somewhat opinionated 1st XI scorer who believes he should be forcing a regular place in the 2nd XI. Developed into a useful medium pace bolwer during the season highlighted by his performances for the mid week team and on presidents day. Should Coxy keep progressing in 2010 could be in contention for a regular place in the C2 Unit but may have to be patient and when he gets a chance make the most of it.

Got the drinking started in spectacular fashion on tour by kicking things off with Tennents Super!!!!

A strange season for the eldest Cox brother who started it in fine form with runs at Rothley and Loughborough Greenfields. However went on holiday and his form seemed to stay on holiday after he returned. Capable of big scores at 2nd team level and hopefully 2010 will be a better year for Coxy

Has got an ever expanding Fan Club known as The Coxettes (currently 3 members) that come to watch him at every game he plays in.

The mid-week legend that is Stev Pep! Has worked very hard at his game over the last couple of seasons and the improvements are obvious. An enthusiastic attitude for the game and if he keeps improving could be a real asset for the 2s.

Pulled the prank of last season when he was the ring leader in relocating Bayliss' car.


Occasionally found late at nights harassing the young doggers of burbage common.

Thorpey found himself in the 2s for the 2nd half of the 2009 season and proved to be a consistent performer with bat and ball, at times his efforts deserved more reward than they got.

Doesn't like getting out as the Shepshed pavillion and the newly named Dave Thorpe cupboard will testify to after receiving a good whack with Umars bat.

A hit and miss season for Podge in 2009, recorded his highest ever score hitting 146 for the 2s at Rothley however not much else followed as he struggled for runs in the 1st XI. If Lewis hits form in 2010 will be a major asset for Cosby Cricket Club.

Another one who spilt blood for the cause in 2009 after trying to catch one with his nose at Enderby in a mid-week match.

Paul Woods future son in law and club weatherman. Loves a bit of rain as it enables him to tell us what type of clouds we've got and how long the rain will be here.  Had a decent season with the ball at times picking up cruial wickets, will be more effective in 2010 when he doesn't have a limit on his overs.

Slightly brighter than Frank (only slightly) who provided a seasons highlight when Billso informed people he was going to Goks sisters 30th birthday party Trig replied "How old's she going to be?"

Field: where i want im captain!

The leader of the C2 Unit who had successful year with Bat and Ball as well as  capataining the 2nd XI to the title in an unbeaten season.

Richard Fairbrass wannabe who is currently on tour with his tribute band to Right Said Fred, check out the latest video  Stand Up For The Champions on this web site (go to the links page).

Useless tosser as he was only able to call heads or tails correctly about once all season. Took the most number of catches in the club in 2009, however was in competition with himself for drop of the season with his efforts against Rothley, Greenfields, Electricity Sports (sub for the 1s), Newbold...the list goes on and on!

Usually pretty positive as captain only letting the aura of coolness drop when he starts having tantrums and throwing his cap to the ground, happens about twice an over!
