Shrewsbury batter Seb Scott will captain Shropshire Academy in their opening match of the 2025 season this weekend.
Scott, who joined Shrewsbury from Bridgnorth during the winter, leads the academy side in a 50 overs per side contest against Wales National County (North) at Bomere Heath Cricket Club on Sunday (11am).
Scott played for Shropshire’s first team in last Sunday’s NCCA Twenty Cup double header against Cheshire at Wem.
This weekend’s fixture is a repeat of last August’s game between the sides when Shropshire Academy beat Wales National County (North), also at Bomere Heath, by three wickets in a well-contested match.
Ryan Lockley, who played for Shropshire for many years as a top order batter, will be head coach for the academy side this weekend at Bomere Heath, his home club ground.
Shropshire Academy: Tom Griffiths (Sentinel), Dan Vaughan (Wellington), Finley Jones (Shrewsbury), Seb Scott (Shrewsbury, captain), Morgan Ward (Wellington), Ed Prideaux (Shrewsbury), Dan Walker (Shrewsbury), Griff Davies (Newtown), Alex Heath (Whitchurch), Will Jones (Wolverhampton), George McCormick (Chester Boughton Hall).
