SKIPPER Greg Ricketts admitted worries over availability before the start of the campaign meant he would have been happy with a top five finish – instead Wellesbourne went on to clinch their fifth league crown in six seasons.
Bourne, who were Cotswold Hills League Premier Division champions from 2016 and 2018 before Exhall & Wixford ended their domination in 2019, were celebrating back-to-back titles once again as they cruised to a nine-wicket success over local rivals Shipston on Saturday.
Although closest challengers Kineton claimed the maximum 24 points from their clash with Exhall & Wixford, it did not matter as Bourne’s success meant they finished 11 points clear at the top.
