Ep 415 - John Evans - Road to the Final - Over 70s World Cup 2026

The Paddock and the Pavilion heads to New Zealand for the 2nd Men’s Over 70s World Cup, held across February and early March.

Part one of our two part series, Road to the Final, focuses on England’s group stage campaign, as all eight teams faced each other in a round robin format, with seven matches each to decide the finalists.

England’s winning captain John Evans reflects on his side’s performances, while Lance Ryan, Chairman of the organising committee, discusses how the tournament was organised, how it ran, and the off field events.

We also hear from Australia’s Murray Harrison and India’s Jaspal Singh, who share their experiences of competing in the group stage matches.
