In a dramatic day for Wick cricket, Wickman finally got round to blogging the changes at the club following the AGM in Demcember.
Faced with the news that Matthew "Matty D" Davies had decided that his much publicised row with no-one had led him to resign after a successful promotion campaign to Fullers Division 1 in 2006 and near miss on promotion to Surrey Div 5 in 2008, the Wick Committee did not deny that Joe Ewen would immediately succeed him as 1st xi skipper for 2009.
Despite the best efforts of this correspondent there seems to be no evidence that anyone involved had briefed any newspapers and it seems that the Wick never had a Head Coach - except for the Colts section - for any of the senior players to fall out with. Thus there was no scandal in the Kingston Informer or Surrey Comet, so no one was forced to make any humiliating climb down statements or be sacked.
In the 2xi there was a dramatic no change at all as David Fudge was re-elected as skipper for 2009 building on double promotions from Fullers Division II to Div I to next year's exciting challenge of Surrey Division 5. Fudge will captain both the league side and the one day side. Mostly because league games and one day games last a day so there is no need for a split captaincy.
The 3xi captaincy has also been decided. James "there aren't any coaches to fall out with otherwise I would fill my boots" Lloyd was re-elected to the position of 3xi skipper following the side's promotion in its first official season as a league team.
Robert Sissen, Keith Nicholls and Nick Clark were not opposed and continue as President, Chair and Secretary of the Club. Sissen will continue as Wednesday Captain and provider of cricket for credit crunch and recession victims in 2009.
Importantly for the future of the club, Dominic Lown - holder of the coveted "Wick Man of the Year" trophy agreed to become Fixtures and Social Secretary for 2009 and a new position - Honorary Development Secretary - was created and in his absence Steve Vaid was unanimously and raucously elected.
Happy New Year.
