1933 season

[edit]

Derbyshire played 28 games in the County Championship, and one match against the touring West Indians. They won eleven of their games in the County Championship and lost eleven to come sixth. This was an advance on tenth place in the previous year and a further step on the road towards winning the championship in 1936. They drew with the West Indians.

A. W. Richardson was in his third season as captain in 1933. Leslie Townsend was top scorer. Tommy Mitchell took most wickets.

George Pope, the second of the three Pope brothers to play for the county, made his debut in the season. He was a useful all-rounder who added strength to the Derbyshire side for many years.[1]
