2009 player of the year Matt New returned for the start of the campaign after a winter spent in Australia plus first team promotions for Mark Smallwood and Adam Dobb on a more regular basis gave the side a youthful look skippered again by Keshara Jayasinghe.
The Mills season would begin with a home Derbyshire cup fixture against Sandiacre Town CC after a humbling 9 wicket defeat to the Derbyshire side in the previous campaign the Millers were determined to show what they were capable of enjoying a comprehensive 158 run win with Professional Paul Burdett enjoying a dream debut scoring 143 built around an explosive innings of 93 by Sudesh Fernando.
Early league form was much more unpredictable wins against the Notts Academy and Wollaton were spoiled by games in which the side threw away against Kimberley Institute and Caythorpe.
The bright light being the incredible composure shown by Mark Smallwood occupying the crease waiting for a willing partner he found one in Fraser who decided to play the way he knows how hitting two giant sixes into grandstand to send the team into hysterics and secure the trophy for the Mills.
Steve Ludlam was righty awarded man of the match for his brilliant display of bowling with the trophy rounding of an exciting season for a young side playing in a very competitive standard.
Lewis Saxby arrived to improve the depth in the bowling department although Adam Dobb would be unavailable in league matches due to Notts Academy commitments but would continue to perform in Cup competitions.
The young Millers would welcome back Professional Paul Burdett for the trip to champions Clifton but after a promising start in which the Mills reduced Cliftons powerful batting line up to 86-4 former Derbyshire professional Tom Lungley and Richard Harris steadied the ship with the latter hitting a brilliant 107, In reply on Curtis and Fraser managed to come to terms with the powerful bowling attack and the Mills succumbed to a heavy defeat.
These results were surrounded by both Derbyshire Cup and National Cup matches the first being an incredible game against Chesterfield at Queens Park, the Mills posted a par score of 225 slightly disappointing after being 79-0 and 110-1, Matt New returned to form with 71 and Curtis fell one short of his half century with 49 and a quick fire 38 off just 27 balls from captain Jayasinghe gave the Mills some momentum going into the field.
A potential relegation all battle with Kiveton Park resulted in a comfortable winning draw for the Millers with Gareth Curtis hitting his second hundred of the season 111* not out and a cameo from Steve Ludlam at the end of 47* not out seeing the Mills posted 287 with Kiveton struggling to reach the total they secured Losing draw points with Fernando taking 3 wickets for the Mills.
Player of the season was Gareth Curtis The winter months of 2011 were a busy time for the Mills management with much comings and goings to the side from the previous campaign.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the departure of Kieran Garside to Cuckney, the fast bowler had really found his form towards the end of the campaign and his loss was a real blow to the Mills ambitions.
Jonathan Salmon and Billy North were promoted to the first team squad to cover the gap left by Garside later filled by Ashley Holland who was to join the club during the campaign.
