Shropshire bowler Anthony O’Connor will again captain Wellington in the Birmingham Premier League’s first division next season.
He was re-elected at the Orleton Park club’s annual meeting and it will be his fourth season in charge after taking over from Gavin Byram.
The club will have a new second team skipper with Steve Moules taking over from Dave Street. The club’s three other captains – 3rd XI Duncan Taylor, 4th XI Derick Benting and Sunday Glenn Trott – were all re-elected.
Club secretary Peter Byram reported on a successful 2008 campaign for the first XI, who finished sixth after playing all but two of their fixtures without the assistance of a professional.
“Without doubt we would have been up there challenging for promotion and in all probably have finished in the top two if our pro had been available for all matches,” he said.
Officers elected: President Mrs V. M. E. Holt, deputy president P. J. V. Holt, chairman Steve Oliver, vice chairman Paul Carter, general secretary Peter Byram, assistant secretary Margaret Byram, treasurer Ian Tyrer, assistant treasurer Ted Jones, cricket commitee chairman Paul Carter, cricket secretary Duncan Taylor, youth committee chairman Norman Ross, youth secretary Nigel Howells.
