FINCHAMPSTEAD first team captain Dan Marles has left the club.
Marles came through the youth ranks at Finch and captained the side to Home Counties
Premier 2 promotion in 2015 before winning the Premier 1 crown against the odds at the first attempt a year later.
But he has announced this afternoon that he will be switching to compete for league rivals High Wycombe in the 2018 season.
He said: “Excited to have signed for High Wycombe. Looking forward to a new challenge.
“Thanks to everyone at Finchampstead Cricket Club for everything.”
Finches recovered from a slow start to their title defence to finish the 2017 campaign in third place while his new club High Wycombe, the 2015 champions, ended in fifth.
A new Finchampstead captain has not yet been announced.
