More League Cricket
Andrews was now 40 but returned to the Leagues. In 1948 he played for Stourbridge in the Birmingham League. He had great success and took 71 wickets at an average of 11.09 as well as opening the innings. He returned to Stourbridge in 1949 and was the top all-rounder in the League. Returning to Stourbridge again in 1950 he even played for Devon in the Minor Counties Championship in some mid-week matches. He even played for Ebbw Vale in the South Wales and Monmouthshire League in 1953 and 1954 but that marked the end of his cricket playing days.

Famous quotes containing the words league and/or cricket:
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
