It was a season to remember for Ardmore who won the NW Premiership for the first time in their history.
Their skipper Rachit Gaur was chiefly responsible for much of that success as he passed the 1000-run landmark, scoring 1039 runs at 51.95, showing great consistency in making two hundreds and six fifties.
Dharm Singh (541 at 24.59) and Harry Zimmermann (507 at 39) both made three half centuries in passing 500 runs, with Singh also making a hundred.
Professional Avi Mgijima chipped in with 456 at 35.08 (2 fifities).
The bowling was led by Dharm Singh who claimed 37 wickets at 17.35, while fellow spinner Avi took 27 at 19.70.
Edrees Kharotai got their only five-wicket haul as he impressed on his way to 23 scalps at 16.65, while Rachit Gaur completed a fine all-rund campaign taking 22 at just over 22.
Also getting to double figures were Conor Brolly (18), Harry Zimmermann (14), Caolan Young (13) and Dave Bezzant (10).
Ardmore will hope to keep the bulk of their title winning squad and if they can add one or two more then there's no reason why they won't be at the business end of the Premiership in 2024 as well.
