Calmore Sports Club are delighted to announce our captains for the 2026 season following their appointment at the Annual General Meeting.

Promotion winning skippers Matt Taylor and Sam Dempster have retained their positions at the captains of the 1st XI and 2nd XI respectively as they take on the new challenges of life in SPCL Division 1 and Hampshire Division 2 for the 2026 campaign.

Mitch Parker has agreed to take on the reigns of the 3rd XI in Hampshire Division 5 while Darren Vann will add his valuable experience to the 4th XI in Hampshire Division 6, where many of the exciting and talented young players continued to grow and develop.

The returning Ryan Lomax, fresh from an incredible two year sojourn in Perth, Western Australia has accepted the invitation to lead our SPCL Twenty20 team and will use his antipodean learnings looking after the 1st XI in that competition.

And 2025 Clubperson of the Year Jack Austin extends his captaincy of the Border League XI to a third season as they look to go one better in the Premier Division.

Good luck to all of our captains.
