Fox Lodge return for Doherty

Craig Doherty has confirmed he is returning to Fox Lodge from Glendermott ahead of the start of the new season.

The 23-year-old moved to the Rectory last year and became the top scorer for Glendermott, hitting 668 runs at and average of 33.40, which included five fifties and a century.

"Home is home at the end of the day," Doherty told CricketEurope. "I moved to Glendermott hoping to improve my cricket which I felt I did given the season I had. The next step for me now is to move back to my home club.

"I want to play Premiership cricket and hopefully push for a place in the Emerging Warriors."

Doherty will reunite with his brother Ali, who had an excellent season for the Foxes, who clinched the Championship and the Eric Cooke Cup.

Fox Lodge were due to play against Brigade on Saturday but that game won't go ahead after the NW postponed matches for all senior clubs whose grounds weren't ready.

Ironically, the only match that will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday is Glendermott's home league opener against Letterkenny.
