Nick Kernick

Nickname: Doggers

Best moments:  A superb 80 (not out!!) against Blackrod on a tricky pitch; some of his strokeplay was exhilarating.  Getting married, and the infamous “Kerny’s do” that followed, attended by almost all of the first team

Worst moments:   The performance of the first team at Adlington on the Sunday after “Kerny’s do”.  35-7 at one stage, the team limped to 135 all out on a perfect batting track.   At one point 7 of the team were asleep on the boundary’s edge as the collective hangover got too much.  Being called “Kerny”, a nickname that Nick abhors.
