Paul successfully juggles the roles of professional and captain and leads the team by example. You can read about Paul elsewhere as he has his own page dedicated to his skills and achievements.

His nickname is Ten Bob - it's a long story why and we won't explain here. Pie mystery finally solved.

Toby is the first team vice captain, and is the steadying influence at the top of the order. He is considered to be the best fielder and nicest bloke in the league. This year he represented the league side on two occasions, winning Man Of the Match on the first occasion. Surprisingly left out of the league side for the next match. 

His nickname is Shandy Pants, and he is rumoured to have once drunk 4 pints of lager in a single night.

Dave is a steady top order batsmen with a positive mental attitude and analytical approach to the game. Dave is the current league team wicketkeeper on account of being the best in the league.

His nickname is Ashy, he once hit a six in Liverpool.

David has consistently been one of the most prolific batsmen in the league for 15 years. He can also be called upon as a part time bowler.

His preferred nickname is Taz, but we still call him Mayney. According to some teams, his runs can be stemmed by placing a 7-2 leg-side field, but it has never worked so far! Collects baseball caps and bus tickets.

David joined Dukinfield two years ago and is a technically correct top order batsmen who likes to play his strokes. Scores lots of runs. Due to his poor eyesight, it is rumoured that David uses Jedi powers to see the ball. Strangely started his playing career at Longsight.

His nickname is DG and he's got a six pack. The Robin of the Dynamic Duo. (See Roger Mingham below).

Andy opens the bowling and is recognised as one of the most consistent bowlers in the league. Andy hates to go for runs. Very useful middle order batsmen who plays his shots with much success. Described by the captain as Mr Dependable.

Nickname is disappointingly Andy (he is an accountant). 

Simon is a useful middle order batsman and an excellent fielder. Does not get to bowl as often as he should, due to the embarrassment of riches in the spin bowling department. This Christmas starred as 'Dopey' at the Tameside Hippodrome.

His nickname is Staggers. The Oliver Hardy of the Burke / Collins double act.

John is a steady middle order batsman and an excellent fielder. Hopefully, he will finally retire now that we have won the league.

His nickname is JB. The Stan Laurel of the Burke / Collins double act.

Kamran joined Dukinfield five years ago. Kamran is a fast strike bowler and is respected as the most devastating lower order batsmen in the league, and probably hits the ball as far as any other batsman. A match winner.

Nicknames include Kammy and Gadget (in respect of his Inspector Gadget-esque physique).

Last season was Shafiq's first at Dukinfield and was very successful. He opened the bowling with great accuracy and also made some big scores in the middle order.

His nickname is Shaf and we hope to see him soon. 

Roger is an ex-Dukinfield professional, and has been the most consistent spin bowler in local league cricket for 30 years. Last season was his second season back at Dukinfield as an amateur. Last season Roger was a regular in the league side and bowled exceptionally. He also made his maiden half century (years, not runs).

His nicknames are Emperor or Ming. The wise one. Been known to dress up in tights in his weekend role as Batman.

Re-joined Dukinfield last season after a three year absence and was the final piece in the Championship winning jigsaw. Ian is a traditional fast bowler of the moody, sulking ilk and is genuinely quick on a hard surface.

His nickname is EZ.

Father of Andy. Mike is respected as the best scorer in the league, and was honoured this season by the league. We think he scores to keep an eye on his son.

It's Mr Eastwood to you.
