As happy as they are with that record, they're determined to add more silverware to the trophy cabinet during the 2021-22 campaign.

In an attempt to do so, the Bernie Regan Sports Complex-based club has retained everyone from last season's title, bar Hyeon Parsons who has joined Kiama.

"We've been fortunate to retain nearly everyone from last year, which puts the club in a good position heading into the summer," Norths skipper Nick McDonald said.

"Although Dean Tyson is captaining second grade and will likely spend most of the season there, it creates an opening for one of our talented juniors to step up, which is exciting.

A number of those Norths juniors, such as Jack Walsh and Troy Sweet, successfully made the jump last season and loom as key figures in McDonald's squad this season.

That trio will be joined by batsmen Nathan Thomas, Josh Coulter, Graham Davidson and Jordy Pearson, all-rounders Ben Beck, James Biggs and Justin Weller and bowlers Ben Seyffer, Hugh Gillen, Justin Rumble and Matt Hickmott in the squad - which welcomes Blake Horton across from Nowra.

"Nathan Thomas will be crucial for the willow for us as he can adjust really well to any game situation - as shown in the grand final last year," McDonald said.

"Justin [Weller] will again lead our attack and be our x-factor because if he's got his mojo going, everyone feeds off that - especially the younger players."

While McDonald his team's preparation has been limited, they've ramped up the past few weeks to ensure they're ready for the round one clash with Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemens on Saturday.

"The club is enjoying a successful period right now and everyone is keen to keep that going because we know we have the team to do it," he said.

"No Norths team has ever gone back-to-back, so we want to create our own slice of history this season.

"We know it's not going to come easy though, meaning it's imperative we turn up each and every game, starting from this Saturday against Ex-Servos - who we know will be be keen to start the season strongly.

"First and foremost, we want to be playing solid cricket and make the top four in both competitions.

"If we do that, we give ourselves a chance to be successful because anything can happen in finals."
