In mid-September, a fresh face named Archie Vaughan was making waves, and Surrey, the reigning county champions, found themselves in quite the predicament at what fans endearingly call Ciderabad. It was a moment brimming with possibilities, but that hopeful bubble burst all too soon. The coveted pennant returned to The Oval, and the team had to settle for runner-up positions in both white-ball competitions.
However, if there’s one team renowned for bouncing back, it’s the Cidermen. They’re gearing up for another shot in 2025, with plenty of optimism fueling their ambitions to clinch their first-ever Championship title. A significant boost to their confidence is the return of Matt Henry, who will bolster their squad for the opening seven red-ball matches. The excitement is palpable as supporters rally behind the team, eager to see whether this is finally their year to shine.
