1886 season

Their only first class win was against MCC and the poor performance contributed to the club losing first class status at the end of the following year. They also played two non first class matches against Essex, which were both wins for Derbyshire and included a century for W Chatterton and 8 for 48 by Davidson

The captain for the year was Edmund Maynard. The top scorer was William Chatterton. William Cropper and "G G" Walker shared the top bowling spot.

George Davidson, who became one of Derbyshire's leading bowler made his debut in 1886. Joseph Chatterton, brother of William and a played of promise died at the age of 19 in November 1886.

James Stubbings and A S Sugden played for Derbyshire in the matches against Essex.
