Happy New Year to all friends and followers!

Because it’s that day again here’s my favourite Christmas poem for all to enjoy. Happy Christmas to all friends & followers . #ncfc #wccc www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53215/...

An absolutely brilliant evening at New Road tonight with the peerless Geoff Miller as our Worcestershire Cricket Society guest. The funniest speaker on the circuit? Almost certainly!

I’m no Saints fan but that’s why VAR is killing the game. It’s utterly ridiculous. And HOW CAN IT TAKE SO LONG? Absolutely the worst thing to happen to football. PGMOL just make it worse!

Can the counties build for the future or are they relying on Noah’s Ark? open.substack.com/pub/cricvers...

open.substack.com/pub/cricvers... Interesting stuff from Simon Hughes following his excellent hosting of Worcestershire legend Joe Leach’s Testimonial Lord’s dinner last week

As Joe Leach’s Testimonial ends- HUGE thanks to all (not just WorcsCCC fans) who supported, be it at a quiz, dinner,golf day or T20 game. You’re ALL appreciated by Joe, & partner charities MacMillan Cancer Support, the Professional Cricketers’ Trust & The Josh Baker Foundation Foundation THANK YOU!

A marvellous evening in The Long Room to complete the Joe Leach 2024 Testimonial programme. Huge thanks to Simon Hughes, Alec Stewart, Michael Atherton & Sir Alastair. Truly great cricketers supporting a Worcestershire legend!

One of our own at Worcestershire Cricket Society this week. Always good to hear from Big Joe!

Feel free to add me to the starter pack everybody!
