Four Blackpool players made the Scratching Shed Division Two Dream Team based on their performances in the Furness Building Society Northern Premier Cricket League (incorporating Readers Cricket Balls).

Blackpool missed out to Leyland in the thrilling title race but gained consolation as captain Kevin Reid, Ross Parker, Adrian Darlington and James Smith all represented the runners-up in the mythical selection

Sponsored by Scratching Shed Publishing, the firm behind the design and printing of the league handbook, the Dream Team is selected at the end of each season and is based upon the following criteria:

The captain of the championship-wining side;

The best all-rounder (based on one point for every run and ten points for every wicket);

The best amateur wicketkeeper, based on total dismissals;

The top four batsmen, based on runs scored (top five if one is top all-rounder);

The top four bowlers, based on wickets taken (top five if one is top all-rounder). In the event of a tie between the last two categories wickets shall count as ten runs.

Leyland captain Chris Dovey the Dream Team having captained his side to the championship.

The best all-rounder was Morecambe's Nick Milner who scored 582 runs and took 54 wickets during the season, an outstanding effort by the club chairman

The leading wicketkeeper was James Smith with 31 dismissals

The top batsmen were Daniel Hall (Leyland) with 846 runs; Chorley's Stu Naden (740); Kendal's Donovan Du Plessis (603), Milner (582) and Blackpool's Adrian Darlington (581).

In a close-run battle for the final bowling place Leyland's Steven Pallett, who in 2009 captured his 500th Northern League wicket, took 38 wickets and edged out Darwen's Christian Davies (37) and club-mate Tayyab Afsar (35).

St Annes' Adam Taylor (518) edged in as fifth batsman due to Milner's heroics, earning 518 points to Darwen's Christian Davies (370 points).
