Below are the team managers reports from 1993. Some of the comments still hold true for some players in 2011. Cumbria were the first county EVER to win both the "A" division and "B" division National Titles. Given the quality of players still available in Cumbria this is a feat we could achieve again if we could get all the best players back into the county squad.
