Cope and Meaker join first-class ranks

Congratulations to Alan Cope, who became the second OC to make their first-class debut this summer. In April, Stuart Meaker, who played for England in the Under-19 World Cup over the winter, turned out for Surrey against Loughborough UCCE, taking one wicket in a rain-blighted match. Cope made his debut for Loughborough UCCE against Worcestershire.
