Derek Younger |
Derek joined the Club in 1975 playing mostly in the 2XI and his 162* in 1979 was, at the time, the highest score for the club at any level until Tony Murphy scored 170* in 1984. Took over as captain of the side when John Sanders left in 1980 and oversaw two further league titles in the most dominant period ever for the 2XI. A spell over 1980 into 1981 saw the team record 12 straight wins and go 24 matches unbeaten, the longest streak for any side at the club.
Retiring in 1996 his total of 5,123 runs and 28 scores of fifty or more remain as records for the second eleven. |
