Experienced duo set to start for Beds

New signings Steve Stubbings and Andy McGarry will make their debuts for Bedfordshire in the MCCA Trophy tie with Hertfordshire at Ampthill CC on Sunday.

The county are still waiting to hear whether youngsters George Thurstance and Rob Keogh, will be available though.

Keogh is on Northamptonshire’s books and Thurstance has left Bedford Modern School and is now at Cardiff University, for whom he recently scored a century against Gloucestershire.

Beds will again be captained by Ollie Clayson, who is delighted to have such experienced players as former Derbyshire batsman Stubbings and ex-Essex and Suffolk fast bowler McGarry in his side.

The average age of the team will still be only 21 thanks to the inclusion of Bedford School captain James Kettleborough and 18-year-old George Bacon.

The county are also hoping to include left-arm spinner Tom Brett, another youngster now on Northamptonshire’s books.

The match gets underway at 11am and admission is free.

Bedfordshire: Olllie Clayson, George Arblaster, Andy Reynoldson, Rob Keogh, James Kettleborough, Steve Stubbings, George Thurstance, George Bacon, Andy McGarry, Colin Griggs, Tom Brett.
