Those results handed Fair Oak the championship and climaxed a remarkable climb through the Premier League pyramid since 2016, when the Oaks were playing fourth tier cricket.

The title-winning squad is largely home-grown, with nine of the team graduating from the colts section.

To cap a memorable season in which Fair Oak won 12 of its 15 matches, 640-run opener Steve Reed won the Division 1 batting award and teenager Dan Wheble carried off the wicketkeeping award with 23 dismissals.
