Nottinghamshire Cricket Board Premier League

 

Geoff Gooch chosen as President

The Premier League has confirmed that Geoff Gooch has been elected as their president for the 2012 season, succeeding Ray Elvidge. Gooch is a familiar figure in recreational cricket within the county having undertaken a wide variety of roles including player, umpire and administrator.

Whilst initially starting his career at Bulwell, he is best known for an association with Attenborough Cricket Club that now stretches beyond 50 years. An all-rounder, his enthusiasm and love of the game have led him to roles as an umpire and leading administrator whilst still serving as President of Attenborough.

Gooch was the chairman of the Nottinghamshire Cricket Association, the forerunner of the Nottinghamshire Cricket Board and he played a leading role in the development of the board. He was also actively involved in the formation of the Premier League in 1999 and stood as an umpire in the league for several years. In addition, he served on the Nottinghamshire CCC committee for eleven years being an advocate for the amateur game within the county club.

League Chairman Peter Johnson said of Gooch’s appointment “Geoff is a very well-known and popular figure in the recreational game within Nottinghamshire and we are delighted that he has agreed to act as the League’s president for the next year. Following Ray Elvidge could be a daunting prospect but no one is more qualified than Geoff to take on this prestigious role. I know that he will receive a very warm welcome as he travels to member clubs during his term of office.”

Gooch himself said “I am honoured and very proud to have been asked by Peter and his management committee to be the League president for 2012. I have taken great delight at seeing how the league has fared since it was started in 1999 into what is now recognised to be one of the strongest leagues in the country and I look forward to acting as its President”.
