It’s time to look back on the wonderful summer of 2017 for my County, Essex. I wasn’t at every match, international cricket and this year the Champions Trophy interrupted my County Cricket, but where I was there I’ll include some photos in what is probably going to be a virtual novel. April Essex v Lancashire … More Essex CCC – The tale of a Championship Winning Summer – April to June
The T20 Blast started for Essex with a Friday night match at the Cloud FM County Ground, London rivals Surrey were the opposition. That held double interest for me, I’m an Essex member and fan, but also a Surrey member so I have a regard for them too. Ryan ten Doeschate won the toss and … More Essex v Surrey T20 Blast

I’d bought a ticket for the Royal London Cup Final as soon as they became available, it was something of a result that Surrey, my second team, had made it all the way. Not so much of a result that the day was sandwiched between two Rugby World Cup games in Twickenham. I had a … More The Royal London Cup Final – Event 133
Now then I have something of a confession to make before I get writing – yes, I was at The Oval for the afternoon, but I didn’t see all that much cricket – there, it’s out there! I wasn’t too well in the morning but was meeting a friend for lunch in the pavilion and … More Surrey v Derbyshire – Event 122
After a crazy few days which took me from Nottingham to Cardiff – as you do when you’re sports focussed and not – they’re miles apart focussed I was looking at a week – well 5 days without sport! A quiet few days at home after driving a little under 800 miles seemed sensible. However … More Essex CCC v Surrey CCC – Event 107
This is all a bit odd as I’m having to go back in time – less than a week but boy I’ve seen some sport in that time! But, I must keep a record of every sporting event I go to especially in 2015. (Can’t see me stopping in 2016) On top of this being … More Surrey v Worcestershire – Royal London Cup – Event 103
Having been at the debacle that was Day 4 of the Lords Ashes I returned 4 days later for a more light hearted evening of T20 Blast. A local derby if there is such a thing in cricket between Middlesex and Surrey. As a Surrey member I was naturally hoping to see an away win. … More Middlesex v Surrey T20 Blast – Event 94
I’m writing this after Event 93 – Day 4 of the Ashes Test at Lords – I’m quite relieved that I haven’t had time to write about the game at The Oval, it means I may have calmed down before I start that one! I’d bought tickets for my brothers to watch Somerset at the … More Surrey v Somerset T20 Blast – Event 92
