Not sure if two different players taking wicket keeping catches in the same innings has happened before for the 1sts so Tom Stepp (1 wk catch) and Mark Thatcher (2 wk catches) could be a first. Tom and Mark become the 16th and 17th known wicket keepers in 45 league seasons to take a league wicket keeping catch for the 1sts - there are a few scorebooks missing so could be one or two more to add to the list.

1st's all time league record against Birdlip & Brimpsfield 2 is now Played 2, Won 2, Lost 0.
