Matthew Waite. What an effort for Worcestershire CCC at Taunton, and Tom Hinley on debut too. In the heavenly press box, Jon Curtis will be finding some words with a broad smile

Interesting Q raised at the close of Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 v Leicestershire CCC 🦊 by Adrian Thomas - when did GCCC last win a red ball game at Bristol batting first ? I believe 2020 Bob Willis Trophy v Warwickshire.

A gorgeous day for cricket, and few would have loved it more. His enthusiasm for "the game" and Gloucestershire Cricket never waivered. A new man in the heavenly pavilion a year ago today #SirRobert


Beautifully put. It's like Matt has shared Puppy Bess and Auntie Kes with the world - and the world will put their arms around both today.


One for Cheltenham Town fans with long memories. Graham is now 37. Brian Graham '100 not out' and keeping Partick Thistle in frame - BBC Sport bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

Got to feel for Clive Eakin today. Standing down after 24 years doing Coventry City for BBC Coventry & Warwickshire and you get a goal 120+2 to prevent your last game being a play off final at Wembley. Harsh end to a good stint.

2+2= ?? Eastbourne Borough FC have "parted ways" with manager Adam Murray after being eliminated in the National League South play-offs. He was Darrell Clarke's assistant at Cheltenham before taking the Eastbourne job. Could he have a role Bristol Rovers - #justsaying

Another cloudless sky in Bristol for day 3 of Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 v Kent Cricket - refreshments for the day bolstered by magnificent fruit cake, thanks to Ruth Sharville and husband Adrian. You're very kind to us all. Look forward to seeing shots of Cameron Green's century #cricket

Good luck today to Ed Seabourne on his IPL commentary debut - a chance grafted for and well earned. He swaps day 4 of Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 against Kent Cricket for a studio and a big screen in London !


It's struck me that Sunderland AFC in the play offs this season is reminiscent of Grimsby Town F.C. when they got out of Rocco 🇲🇸 - I'm sure John Tondeur would back me up ! #justsaying

Top work by Joe, advisor E.ON Group in deducing over the phone the cause of a spike in gas usage at mother's property. As someone once said to me "take £5 out of petty cash and gave the rest of the day off"

First Rothesay County Championship win of 2025 and now first Vitality Blast win of the season for Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 both against Kent Spitfires


In the wake of the passing of Gloucestershire Cricket President and former England and Wales Cricket Board international David Lawrence MBE, a special programme by 🎙Steve Kitchen on BBC Gloucestershire is worth your time. First broadcast 13/6/25, it's being repeated tonight (23/6/25) at 6pm. Also available BBC Sounds

Festival Eve. Very green in 2024, much less so ahead of 2025. With the great debate over the structure of cricket in 2026, this COULD be the last Cheltenham as many know it Cheltenham Festivals #cricket


All the best to Dan Whiting as he takes the College Ground mic at Cheltenham for Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 over the next two Championship games. No greater enthusiast for the Festival.
