It’s semi-final week in county O60s and O70s cricket - we cover all the matches, although some of the O70s matches were rained off and will be played on Tuesday Sept 2nd - the day when the O60s finals take place.

We also mention the amazing Ron Hedley who is closing in on his target of raising £100,000 for Prostate Cancer Awareness before the O60s/O70s AGM later in the year.

As these notes are written Ron is on £99,234

England beat New Zealand 3-0 in the Silver Fern series

And its controversy time at the O60s World Cup after a major incident in the England v India match and the resultant fall out and media coverage

Not quite how O60s cricket would wish to be talked about

We are into August which means knockout county O60s and O70s cricket, the O60s World Cup in Toronto and the O70s ODI series between England and New Zealand

This week was the round of 16 of the O60s Cup competition - so who won the prediction between Grant and Trevor?

We also had the round of 16 in the O60s 2nd XI Cup, some prelim matches in the O60s 2nd XI Bowl competition and in the O60s 3rd XI Vase

Extreme heat saw all O70s Div 2 and Div 3 matches cancelled and all the O70s 1st XI Bowl prelim matches postponed

Here’s a link to Ron Hedley’s march as featured on Songs of Praise https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m003056z/songs-of-praise-the-power-of-walking

Matches got underway at the O60s World Cup in Toronto with as we record no surprises os far

Matches on Wednesday largely went to Duckworth - Lewis when the rains came and with no covers for the grounds all of Thursday’s matches were cancelled

The infrastructure, or lack of it, was always going to be a talking point

England won the first O70s ODI at Frocester by 84 runs - match 2 is on Sunday 16th at Royal Fareham and match 3 on Tuesday 18th at High Wycombe
