LUKE Davies says Redditch Entaco CC will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2014 in style this year.

The Kingfishers go head into the new season in the Worcestershire League Division One season with a host of new recruits, looking to put last year’s bottom-half of the table finish behind them.

Redditch, who start the campaign at Oldswinford SS, have welcomed Australian seam bowler Joe Scarcella, Andy Elleray, who has recently moved into the area, and wicketkeeper Adam Towzer.

Former skipper Perry Derrick has also confirmed he will play for Redditch again when he returns from Australia, but Chris Weaver has returned to Australia for a year.

Davies said: “We had a very disappointing season last year so our main aim is to improve on that.

“Ideally we’re aiming for a top-five finish so we’ll see how it goes.

“Most importantly, we’ve got to improve our home form if we are to do that because it wasn’t great.”

Redditch’s build-up to the new season saw them beat Worcester well and lose lost to Kenilworth on Saturday.
