Former Bootham Park paceman and biffer Paul "Mister" Offord has recently become the club's second alumnus to represent a Latin American nation in an international competition (the first in this short and illustrious line being off-spinner, bon viveur and captain of Peru, Viv Ash).

Quoth the Offord:
"That was awesome, they are so welcoming, and the level of cricket was really high, I bowled the best I've ever done...quite an experience. Me and my mate Jamie also set up the first Mexico City interschool cricket comp as well. It's part of the condition of Mexico being affiliated to the ICC, so we trained these kids up from scratch, and then won the trophy against three other schools...all good fun. "
