Danny Shevill - County Debut - 2 September
Since joining Prudhoe from Stocksfield earlier this year Danny has made great progress with impressive showings in both County Championships, County events such as the Fenwick Smith and National events such as the Carris Trophy.
Along the way, he has reduced his handicap from 2 to scratch, lies in the top 10 of the County Order of Merit and, as a result, got his well deserved first cap for the County having been in the County's development squad for most of the season.
But what a match to be selected for! Northumberland, playing their last match away to Durham at Brancepeth, needed at least a draw to secure their first Northern Counties League title for many years.
In the foursomes, Danny was partnered with fellow development squad member, Craig Penny from Morpeth, and earned a very creditable half in atrocious weather conditions. This gave Northumberland a narrow 3.5 to 2.5 lead.
But it was the weather that brought the whole match to an early finish and none of the singles could be played. Frantic phone calls between County Presidents and the Northern Counties Chairman caused a nervous delay until the decision was made and Northumberland were crowned champions.
Well done to Team Northumberland on a long overdue but magnificent title victory.
