Devon County Cricket Club was formed in England on 26 November 1899, and first competed in the Minor Counties Championship in 1901. [2] Their first appearance in List A cricket was in 1969, and in total they have played thirty-three matches, making five Gillette Cup, nineteen NatWest Trophy and nine Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy appearances. [n 1] On five occasions the county progressed to the third round of the competition: in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004. [4] Minor counties teams were excluded from the competition from the 2006 season; [5] Devon's last match was against Essex in the first round of the 2004 competition. [4]

[6] Andrew Procter's fourteen wickets for the county is the most by any player, but Robert Healey has the best bowling figures, having taken six wickets against Hertfordshire in his only match in 1969. [7] Andrew Hele, who appeared for Devon on six occasions, has claimed the most dismissals as wicket-keeper, taking eight catches and making two stumpings.
