Future Chairman joins the club and starts well with the bat...

We move on now to the 1904 season (to catch up on the story to date, click here)...

Season 1904 saw the Club gain a new member in DQ Steel. He would go on to serve the club with distinction both on and off the field for many years, being Chairman from 1913 to 1926, and he would go on to score 4,950 1st XI runs, of which 817 were scored in his debut season.

A Calvert was the main bowler, taking 94 wickets during the season, including a 9 wicket haul against Neston. Quite remarkably he surpassed this when he took all 10 wickets for only 11 runs against Oxton.
