Details
After years of mediocrity The Shrimpers won two promotions in three seasons to find themselves in Division One of the South Northants Cricket League. Their first season in Division One (2003) saw them finish in a respectable 6th position; this was improved on in 2004 when they finished a fantastic third.

In 2005 they were looking to gain promotion to the Premier League but due to a shortage of players and shortage of runs the Shrimpers were relegated on the last day of the season to Division Two.

They are now looking for new players for the next season in 2006, starting in April. If you feel you can help, drop them an email.
