Four-man 'Brains Trust' at Carnforth

Professional Pedder in four-man captaincy 'Think Tank'

The man they call 'Tiny' is in charge of a four-man 'Brains Trust' at Carnforth. Adam Hornby, the huge man mountain cricketing-goalkeeper resumes the captaincy at Lodge Quarry in 2011.

One of the best fielders in the league and a hard-hitting batsman, Hornby is a hugely popular figure at the club. He was captain in 2008 but stepped down in 2009 to concentrate on his painting and decorating business and played Westmorland League cricket for Sedgwick. But Hornby was vice-captain for Carnforth in 2010 after starting the season late due to his commitments as goalkeeper for Milnthorpe Corinthians in the West Lancashire League.

Captain for the last two seasons, Darren Moore retains an influential position at the club and will concentrate on off-field organisational matters.

Opening batsman Ryan Nelson, who played for Cumberland in 2009 is also part of a four-man captaincy think-tank. Nelson was recently co-opted on to the club general committee.

Completing the quartet locally-based professional Gareth Pedder is made vice-captain with additional responsibilities for the first-team in addition to his role as Welfare Officer and coach to the club's burgeoning junior set-up.

Pedder, who will start a third season as club professional in 2011, completed the double of 500 runs and 50 wickets in 2010 and became the first Carnforth player to take a hat-trick in the Northern League. He broke the club's bowling record with 54 wickets in 2010 and took a club Northern League record 7 for 26 against Netherfield.
