He wasn't required to bat in the Unicorns innings, while with the ball he dismissed Marcus Trescothick after the former England batsman had made 53, he followed this up later by dismissing Peter Trego for 12, therefore finishing with figures of 2/39 from 8 overs.^[5] He made a further appearance in that competition against Glamorgan at Wormsley Park.^[6]

Playing against Middlesex at Southend in the Yorkshire Bank 40 was reward for some good one day performances for both Herefordshire and Unicorns A. This was his last List A game to date.

Career best figures for Herefordshire in the Championship followed during the visit of Devon taking 7/121 in the first innings and 4/77 in the second for match figures of 11/198.
