In the latest episode of the podcast we talk to outgoing Chair of the SWCA Neil Hobbs and local cricketer and amateur historian Mike Price about the 100 year history of the South Wales Cricket Association.

We hear about some of the individuals, teams and events that have marked various phases of that history as well as some of the issues that have affected the league over the years.

Mike Price is a long term player and administrator with Cimla Cricket Club as well as a host of roles with Neath RFC.  He is the author of the Centenary Booklet 'A Long Spell' produced by the association.

Neil Hobbs is the longstanding Chair of the SWCA.  He talks to us about his early cricketing experiences and how he ended up being the Chairperson of the league.  He also shares his knowledge of cricket in South Wales in the last 30 or more years.

This is the first of two episodes covering this organisation and its centenary.
