William Chatterton - captain

Although deprived of first class status Derbyshire played the same opponents as in the previous year with two matches each against Lancashire, Yorkshire, Surrey and Essex and one match each against Leicestershire and Middlesex . They also played one match against MCC and one against the touring Australians. Derbyshire won three of their matches and lost the remaining nine.

The captain for the year was William Chatterton who was also top scorer. John Hulme took most wickets. His total of 60 included 15 in one match against Yorkshire.

Of those who made their debut, Edward Evershed and Herbert Mosby[1] played regularly over the following years before Derbyshire regained first class status. Evershed also played a first class game in 1898 as did Alfred Charlesworth who otherwise only played in the 1888 season. WA Hindley[2] and JH Straw[3] played their one-game each for Derbyshire in 1888 while William Hodges[4] a schoolboy from Cheltenham College and William Pedley a former Sussex player each played two games in the season.
