Senior Counties? Seemed to be real popular in the men's teams when I was a lad. Think they were maybe made in Bridlington?
think they only got popular round the Yorkshire area though around mid 80's .

Yes I had a centurion too, my one was a bit of a plank, iirc, I think possibly they were BDM made, as I remember the burnt in English willow stamp on the back near the toe. Are stac still going. Had a couple of beauties from David.

I believe Stac are still going strong - @Seniorplayer may be the one to ask about them.

Yeah Clayton used to pedal the Centurion gear at our club whilst he was pro. I think there's still a couple of pairs of gloves / pads in the garage.

Did I see they've made a bit of a come back this year on eBay?

run by John Courtney out of keynsham cricket club, half way between bath and bristol, did a lot of sponsorship in the west country when i was young, as did centurion (half the avon/somerset guys i played against had centurion) - got quite a few guys at glos ccc to use his stuff i think - even remember chris broad using it (not sure if that is good or bad)!!!!!!
