Ed Denham glances to leg for Walsall. Picture Peter Burke.
Ed Denham has returned to his Bournemouth cricketing roots after six successful summers playing in the Birmingham & District Premier League.
The 27-year old all-rounder is expected to be a major player in Bournemouth’s bid for Southern Premier League honours this season.
A key member of the Bournemouth colts team which was crowned ECB national Under-15 champions in 2005, Denham took 269 wickets and scored over 2,350 runs in his spell in Birmingham cricket.
Leaving Bournemouth in 2011, he joined Wombourne before switching to Walsall, whom he helped win a recent BPL Division 1 title.
Denham celebrated 11 separate five-wicket hauls in his time in the Midlands, taking 8-35 against Moseley and 7-52 versus West Bromwich Dartmouth.
The former Dorset cricketer has also developed into a very tidy middle-order batsman, scoring two league centuries and 11 scores of 50 or more in the BPL.
Bournemouth, who have also snapped up Herefordshire Minor Counties pace bowler Dan Conway, begin their pre-season programme with home matches against Lymington (Saturday) and Bournemouth University (Sunday) this weekend.
They launch their SPL1 tilt against relegated Andover at Chapel gate on May 5.
