Sheffield Collegiate Cricket Club have appointed Josh Varley as their new 1st team captain.
Varley takes over from Matthew Dixon who has stood down after a memorable 12 years in charge of the first XI.
The news was confirmed at last nights AGM where a vote was passed by all members present.
Josh has been white/pink ball captain for a number of years now, winning 2 T20 titles and leading us to the Northern Area final where we narrowly lost out to Sandiacre Town.
In his career at SCCC, Josh has played 453 matches for the club with 191 of those coming in the 1st XI.
Stepping up to captain of all formats is something Varley is relishing;
“I am delighted to be announced as first team captain of the club I’ve played for as long as I can remember, I am grateful for the opportunity and excited for all the challenges ahead of me and the club, 2019 I hope will be a very prosperous year for the club on and off the field and I can’t wait to get started.”
Everyone at Sheffield Collegiate Cricket Club wishes Josh all the very best of luck in his new role and hope as many people can get down to Abbeydale Park in 2019 to see all of our sides in action throughout what we hope will be another sun baked summer.

Congratulations to both Tom Rowley and Rob Shaw who were part of the Yorkshire South Premier League XI that beat Yorkshire CCC by 7 wickets! Josh Varley was also on 12th man duties for the select league side.
Tom scored a rapid 65 off 34 balls in a brilliant opening partnership with Vusi Sibanda! Chasing down 165, the YSPL side chased down the score with 2 overs to spare!
Great game played in beautiful conditions and to a good crowd!
