Staffordshire mourning the passing of Andy Carr
We are devastated to hear the news about the passing of Andy Carr. Andy was our head coach for three years and recently stepped down down from the role. He was 51. He became Staffordshire head coach ahead of the 2023 season and enjoyed huge success. Andy led us to our first-ever NCCA Twenty20 Cup […]
Andy Carr steps down as Staffordshire head coach
Andy Carr says he has been “honoured” to lead Staffordshire after stepping down as the county’s head coach. Carr has been undergoing cancer treatment and has now made the decision to relinquish his role with the county club. The 51-year-old was appointed head coach prior to the 2023 season – and guided Staffordshire to success […]
‘The celebration was a release of all of my emotions’
A quickly scampered two has never been more keenly celebrated than when Matt Morris completed that particular double this week. The Staffordshire batsman punched a delivery from Lincolnshire spinner Jordan Cook to the point boundary to bring up a landmark which has been a fair few years in the making. By completing his second run, […]
Chris Milward: Staffordshire still have work to do in Twenty20 Cup
Assistant coach Chris Milward says Staffordshire can’t afford to take their eye off the ball – despite taking a big step towards NCCA Twenty20 Cup qualification. Staffordshire won both games in their double header against Cheshire at Nantwich on Sunday to move to the top of Group One. The top three sides from each group […]
Pete Wilshaw assesses early NCCA T20 Cup rounds ahead of Cheshire trip
Pete Wilshaw says Staffordshire have displayed plenty of fighting spirit in the early stages of their NCCA Twenty20 Cup programme.

And the T20 Cup, which […]
Jack bounces back and he’s ready to shine for Staffordshire
It is testament to Jack Redman’s character that he’s been able to overcome physical and mental setbacks in his Staffordshire career. The Audley all-rounder is only 24, but has already endured some significant low points when it comes to representing the county. But rather than let them affect him, Redman has used the experiences to […]
‘We owe it to ourselves and the coaches to put in a performance’
Rory Haydon has been on both sides of the boundary for Staffordshire this season – and he knows which one he prefers. The Leek seamer played in Staffs’ opening NCCA Knockout Trophy game against Herefordshire, which resulted in a victory. But he has sat out the next couple of Group Two encounters – which ended […]
Andy Carr demands response as he makes two changes for Norfolk trip
Andy Carr says it’s time for some of his Staffordshire players to turn potential into performances. Head coach Carr was left unhappy with the display in last Sunday’s NCCA Knockout Trophy defeat by Shropshire, which left Staffs’ qualification hopes hanging by the thinnest of threads. If Staffordshire don’t advance from Group Two, then it will […]
Andy Carr: Staffordshire had chances to sample double NCCA Knockout Trophy joy
Staffordshire head coach Andy Carr admitted there was a sense that an opportunity had been missed in their Bank Holiday NCCA Knockout Trophy double header. Staffs opened their Group Two campaign with a relatively comfortable victory over Herefordshire on Sunday. But their hopes of making it back-to-back successes were dashed on Monday when Suffolk prevailed […]
