We’re delighted by the news that George Daldorph has been called up to the Devon Lions squad to face Cornwall in a two-day fixture on Sunday & Monday at Truro.
George, who struck his maiden league century at Cullompton last week, has been an instrumental player for the 1st XI since his debut at the end of the double winning season of 2021. George had been playing 2nd XI cricket since 2018 after coming through our junior set up.
A true all-rounder who has only just turned 22, George has scored 1,173 1st XI league runs at an average of just shy of 25, including five 50s and one century. With the ball, he has claimed 87 league wickets at an average of under 19. This season, he is second in the runscorer table & top of the pile in terms of wicket takers.
1st XI skipper Jake Choules said “A really well deserved call up for George who has come such a long way in such a short space of time – I remember coaching him at U15 level not so long ago. It’s no surprise to anyone at Thorverton that he’s been in the county conversation with consistent runs and wickets for a couple of seasons now and we wish him all the best for the game”
George follows sister Imogen into representative county cricket, who has been a regular in the Devon Women’s side since her debut in 2022.
Go well George & congratulations on the call up from everyone at Thorverton CC.
