The following statistics have been calculated for riders who made two or more appearances for Club CH during the 2001 season. A further ten riders made solitary appearances in 2001, led in the averages by Matt Read (v Arena Essex, 11.00); Malcolm Holloway (v Boston, 10.40) and David McAllan (v Boston, 9.33). In that list, Dean Garrod comes next, in 4th place with his season average of 6.77 from four matches.
The 'Fab Four', as they have become known, are listed below in order of average. In the full list of riders for 2001, they appear in order in 4th (Garrod), 6th (Nix), 11th (Meakins) and 12th (Barker).

For the first time ever, we also have an unofficial list of all-time Club CH performers. Again, it only includes riders who have made two or more appearances, as a further 20 riders have made solitary appearances some time during the last three seasons.
Leading the way, unsurprisingly, is former Rider of the Year, Mark Steele with a fine 9.43 average from 3 matches. Top of the bunch from the 2001 riders is again Dean Garrod in 12th place with an overall 5.60 average.
Deano also takes joint first in the stakes for most appearances. His 12 matches in CH colours equal the tally of 'The Bouncer', Mitch Barker. And with all those appearances, he takes the honours for most points scored (57) and most rides (45). The prize for most bonus points must be shared at the moment though as Garrod's six are equalled by 'The Welsh Wizard', Gordon Meakins.
