Hampshire's Early Championship Seasons 1895-1908 — Last Place and Llewellyn
Hampshire CCC
1908-08-31
Hampshire were promoted to first-class status in 1895, when Derbyshire, Essex, Hampshire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire joined the County Championship. Their early years were grim — last or equal-last in 1900, 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1905 — with a brief 1901 rally led by Charlie Llewellyn, the Natal-born all-rounder who later played five Tests for South Africa.
