WORCESTER Nomads have re-elected Ben Schiffmann as their first team skipper for the 2018 season.

Ollie Ranscombe will act as vice-captain for the Bransford club who have been relegated back to the Worcestershire League.

The second XI will again be led by Malcolm Jones with Jack Watkins his number two.

Andy Leach hands over the reins as cricket committee chairman to Watkins in the only major change to an otherwise stable club administration team.

Having been relegated after a tough season in Birmingham League Division Three in 2017, Nomads return to Worcestershire League Division One which starts on April 21 against Feckenham.

In the lead-up to the campaign, Nomads have a full programme of both indoor league and nets.

The junior indoor coaching began in early January for school years four to seven (under nines to 12s) at St John’s Sports Centre from 6pm until 7pm on Sundays and run through to February 11.

Sessions for years eight and nine (under 13s and 14s) start on February 18 and then following a short break there will be three on March 11, 18 and 25.

The club’s adult net sessions run from Wednesday, January 31, until March 28 at Royal Grammar School Worcester from 7pm until 8pm.

All indoor net sessions involve a nominal charge.
