Farby's Thoughts

Having won eight of our 14 games in Division Two in 2024, Men's Head Coach Paul Farbrace is under no illusions when it comes to the quality his team will face in the top tier of the County Championship, however he has been clear with his players, that he still expects them to compete in the top half of the division:

"A lot of people have spoken to me about how survival should be our goal and that is absolutely not the case. There is no point in us turning up to Division One and just making up the numbers. We have joined because we want to play and compete against the best teams."

"We want to show that we deserve to be there. I said no reason why we can't compete and challenge the top sides."
