New Roffey captain Matt Davies is once again expecting fierce competition in the Sussex League Premier Division as they bid for a hat-trick of titles.

The wicketkeeper, who has risen through the junior ranks at the club, has taken over the reins from Josh Fleming at the champions.

Davies admits there is some pressure and big boots to fill, but it is a job he has been aspiring to do.

He said: “We weren’t sure if I was going to take over and if I would be back from university and able to play the season, but I am. I am really excited, the team is still the same and Josh will be there, so we have a lot of experience.

“I have aspired to do it for the last couple of years. There is a little bit of pressure, but it’s all good. At the end of the day, it’s down to the team as well.
