Did you know? Professional Subhash ‘Fergie’ Gupte claimed 10-101 in the 1955 Worsley Cup final.

Jimmy Bibby: We know and we have proved in recent seasons that we can beat anyone on our day but we strive to be hard to beat. We have been seen as an easy target for teams in the past and we want that to stop. The loss of Tiarnan Hamill is a little hard to stomach and his abilities as a batsman and wicketkeeper will be missed but this provides the opportunity for others to step in to the breach and prove they have the ability and character to play at this level.

Prediction: Last year was a struggle for Rishton but they have signed a good professional and look set to improve under the leadership of Jimmy Bibby.
