LCC Review of the Decade - Part 1

This is a statistical review of the decade- there will only be the occasional mention of specific games; the multiple league trophies (and cup!) or storytimes. There will be cold hard facts, more facts, and hopefully pretty pictures.

Over the reviews, there will be the answers to the quiz of the decade we emailed out & had on our twitter page. Full answers will be compiled at the end. If you want to do the quiz, it is available via this link.

All stats refer to adult league games over the period 2010-19.

Captains

32 people captained LCC over the decade - 9 of them just the once including Jordan Farrell, Andy Peters and Kevin Staight.

Dan Rive captained the most games - and in nearly every year of the decade; just missing games in 2015 and 2017 

Ian Birbeck had similar longevity; captaining in 8 seasons - missing 2016 and 17. In 2012, Ian had a 100% win record in the 8 completed games he captained

2nd XI captains end with a near identical win%, with Darren just edging Jordan by ~1%
