Derek Richards, President of the St Helena Cricket Association
On this week’s show we round up all the action from Round 3 of the Rothesay County Championship, where Essex had their first win of the season, despite a a great fightback from Worcestershire and some Pears fans are not happy about the result! Essex has a break this weekend, with Round 4 games starting tomorrow. There’s also a look at the One Day Cup, as the women’s domestic season gets underway, fully professional for the first time among eight tier one sides.
Special guest is Derek Richards, who joins us from the South Atlantic, where he is the President of the St Helena Cricket Association. It’s a fascinating chat about the harsh realities of playing cricket in one of Britain’s most far-flung overseas territories.If you would like to know more, or help support St Helena cricket, take a look at their website:
