Even though yet again this week's O60s and O70s County Championship programme was decimated by the weather we've got another packed podcast for your enjoyment.

We mention Oxfordshire's Stephen 'Ned' Kelly who is approaching 150 matches which made us wonder who out there has played more O50s, O60s and O70s matches combined so if that is you or one of your teammates please do drop us some details to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk

Grant has tracked down Jeff Baxter who we think might be one of the more elderly players competing in the County championship game so we're keen to know who the oldest player is who is currently playing regularly in the O70s competition. Again email us podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk if you are aware of someone who is potentially that cricketer.

We also reveal the big news about the latest signing for Lancashire O70s – someone we hope to have as a guest on this podcast at some point.

We cover the England O60s versus Scotland District Forty Club matches. The first match on Thursday 30th was cancelled but the second match at Hartlepool CC went ahead on Friday 31st with Cheshire's Paul Radage catching the eye with 81 from 67 balls at the top of the order along with yet another 100 from Montie Douglas. Here's the scorecard link.

Please do share this podcast with your Over 60s and Over 70s cricket teammates and friends.

If someone in your team achieves a particular milestone which could be their 50th game, their 50th wicket, their 1000 run etc…please do let us know and we will give them a shout out. Please send the details to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk

And don’t forget to send as a comedy moment either in writing or on a voicemail clip and send them to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk

In this episode of the Silver Stumps podcast Mark Shepherd captain of the 2023 O60s Championship winners Surrey joins hosts Grant Timms and Trevor Lee.

We talk about how Surrey went from being 9th seeds in the last 16 draw for the championship to the eventual winners and their journey along the way including removing co-host Grant Timms in the last 16 match for 0 and on his home ground at Rushden!

In fact getting their opponents top players out for nought was a pattern that Surrey established removing the dangerous Arthur Worthington for 0 in the quarter-final against Suffolk and then Mel Hussain for 0 in the semi-final versus Essex and then both of the Hertfordshire openers for 0 in the grand final.

Mark also talks about captaincy and how much enjoys it and the challenge of integrating new players into a championship winning team and ensuring that there is a pathway to the first team from the four over 60s championship sides that Surrey run and fifth team that they are launching in 2024.

In this episode of the Silver Stumps podcast National Management team man and Warwickshire player Dave Murphy joins hosts Grant Timms and Trevor Lee to explain the new look formats for 2024, in particular the phase two group stages for the O60s 1st and 2nd XI competitions.

Here’s a summary of the formats:

O60s 1st XI : 33 teams in 6 groups (it was 5 in 2023) - North (6 teams) - East (5), Midlands (5), South East (5), South East Midlands (6) and SouthWest (6).

The top 2 teams in each group progress in the Championship Cup phase 2 league which will be geographically divided so the 6 teams qualifying from the North, East and Midlands will be in Group A and the 6 teams from the other 3 regions in Group B

The six teams will play each other home and away but teams won’t play against the same team that was in their original group, which means there will be eight matches in this phase 2 group stage

The top two then in each of the groups qualify for the semifinals with the winner of group A playing the runner-up of group B and vice versa

An identical structure will apply to those finishing third and fourth in each of the six groups who will qualify for the Vase tournament with those finishing fifth and sixth, which will be 19 is in total, going into the Bowl tournament

A similar structure will be happening for the O60s 2nd XI competition although in phase 1 with 30 teams there will be five groups of six

The top two in each group go through into phase 2 league, with one group featuring three winners and two runners-up and the other group featuring two winners and three runners-up – the decision about replacing what group will be determined when the first phase is finished and geography taken into account

In phase 2 teams will play four matches so once each against the teams in their phase 2 group with each county playing 2 home games and 2 away games

The identical structure applies to those finishing third and fourth who will go into the O60s 2nd XI Vase competition and those finishing fifth and sixth who will go into the O60s 2nd XI Bowl competition

The O60s 3rd XI competition features 17 teams who will play 12 matches prior to a quarter-final stage and in the O60s 4th XI competition there will be seven teams play each other home and away

In the O70s 1st XI competition 25 teams will play 12 matches before going into the quarter-final stage and in the O70s 2nd XI competition five teams will play each other four times

Grant and Trevor will be looking for future guests who can provide insights, tips, advice and inspiration to those playing cricket at this age and beyond!
