Epic finishes to O60s 1st XI matches despite the Rain!

Just 13 matches across the entire over 60s and over 70s eight divisions were played to a finish – unbelievable given that this was the first week in June. But nevertheless of the five matches that were completed in the over 60s first division three were epic finishes which we talk about in a little bit of detail. I also touch upon the Test match at Lords – what is going on there? And I say thanks to Nigel Harrington and Alan Hocking who recently umpired and scored respectively their 100th match for Cornwall Seniors – do you have officials who have reached such a landmark and deserve a shout out on this podcast? Let me know.
