OLIVER HANNON-DALBY
TESTMONIAL YEAR 2024
Oliver Hannon-Dalby; ‘The Bears Talisman’
The popular Yorkshireman – who recently surpassed 500 career wickets – Olly has been the bedrock of the Bears bowling attack in recent seasons having moved to Edgbaston from his home county in 2013.
The 6ft 8ins seamer totals 450 scalps for Warwickshire across all formats and has been the Club’s leading red ball wicket taker in each of the last two seasons.
His haul of 54 LV= Insurance County Championship wickets made him Division One’s fourth leading bowler this summer, while he topped the Metro Bank One Day Cup wickets table with 24 at an average of just 13.20.

A large man with an even larger heart, Oliver Hannon Dalby (OHD) stands out as the ideal recipient for a benefit year. Skill, positivity, hard work, and an insatiable appetite for winning cricket games for the Bears are just a few reasons he rightfully earned the title of the 'fans' favorite' at Edgbaston. Beyond his on-field respect, his off-field resume is equally impressive. Olly dedicates countless hours to helping others and supporting the community, always the first to volunteer for a worthy cause. I genuinely hope you'll join me in supporting Olly throughout 2024, seizing the opportunity to express your gratitude for all he has accomplished during his time at the Bears.

It was great to see that OHD had been awarded with a benefit year at the end of the season. It is extremely well deserved for some outstanding performances over his career so far with the Bears. I was capped with OHD at the bears and have always said he’s one of the best team mates ive had the pleasure of sharing a dressing room with. Not only a top player but more importantly a top man off the pitch and someone I miss playing with.
Dom Sibley
As a club we have a long and distinguished history of County and International alumni. Some have achieved great things on and off the field. OHD has left a long-lasting legacy of professionalism and enjoyment of playing the game that is seen week in and week out on the first class circuit.
He arrived in 2009 as a tall gangly 16-year-old and has developed into what we see today, a talented bowler with a first-class pedigree and approach to life. OHD continues to support all the clubs that have had the pleasure of him playing for them and regularly contributes at our end of season awards.
A better person in life you would struggle to meet let alone in cricket. We at Barnsley will be firmly behind OHD in this testimonial coming year!
