WARINGSTOWN

We start our NCU club reviews with a look at the stats for Waringstown, who won the Premiership.

Adam Dennison topped the run charts with the former Irish youth international one of six players who scored 400 runs or more, showing not only the depth but quality on show at The Lawn.

The top seven in their run charts also scored quickly, another major factor in their success.

Graham Hume's late season runs also proved crucial in the title run-in, with his unbeaten hundred at Woodvale decisive,

Dennison, James McCollum, Morgan and Sam Topping, skipper Greg Thompson, Matthew Halliday and Hume proved a formidable top-order who scored a combined 24 of their 25 half centuries - James Cameron-Dow with the other- and their five hundreds.

The numbers for the bowling aren't on paper as impressive, but given they often had big totals to defend is perhaps understandable.

Pakistan Test bowler topped their charts with 28 wickets at 23.82, just ahead of James Cameron-Dow who claimed 26 scalps at 18.58 - both getting five wicket hauls.

Greg Thompson (19), Josh Froggatt (16), James Mitchell (14), Graham Hume (13), Ben Snell (13), and Tom Mayes - injured for a good chunk of the season (11) all made double figures and provided variety and depth.

There's no doubt that given Waringstown's quality they will be again challenging for major honours, but their bowling stocks could do with a tweak or two, especially if they are hit with availabilty issues.

For now though they can bask in the glory of another title - a record extending 32nd.
