O65s First Matches plus O70s Trial, O60s Final Trial and Famous 99’s

This is episode 99 of the Silver stumps podcast so Grant starts off by recalling some famous 99's – have you had a 99? And then got out in bizarre circumstances? - let us know.

The England / Wales regional O65s competition started on Thursday, April 23rd with three terrific matches where five of the six scores were in excess of 245 runs.

The next round of matches are on May 21st - follow all the action via this webpage: https://6070cc.co.uk/o65s/

We also mentioned that England O70s team manager, Chris Lowe, has put a shout out for anyone interested in putting themselves forward for the England team in 2026 details here: https://6070cc.co.uk/category/england-70-internationals/

We look ahead to April 28th and the start of the O60s season with matches in the top three divisions.

We wish Nottinghamshire, the best of luck as they begin their county championship O60s adventure.

And we acknowledge the final England O60s World Cup trial to be held at Ticknall CC on Thursday, April 30th.

Finally Grant explains why he will be missing now for several episodes – if you fancy being a guest contributor on the show then please drop Trevor a note via podcast@trevorjlee.com 

All the team here at Silver Stumps along with our many listeners across the UK and indeed the world wish Grant a successful operation and a speedy recovery.
