1:52

2:01

2:05

2:08
trips to Sheffield and Wolverhampton to follow.
2:12
In swimming, it was Metals Galore for to of the city
2:15

2:22
championships at ponds Forge, International Sports, Centre in
2:24
Sheffield with a gold, a silver and two bronze medals at the

2:37
Megan Donovan. Also made 5 finals in Aberdeen

2:47
local man. Joe Perry as he was beaten in
2:50
round 1 of the world championships at The Crucible in
2:52
Sheffield. This week Perry from chatter has
2:55
led Robert milk in 72 going into final session.

3:03
in the road to lead 98 a break of 63 enabled, Perry to take the
3:07
match into the decider, which milken's one also with a break
3:11
of Three and following on from our guests last week, the
3:15
Peterborough Royals women's American football team, the
3:18
women will be making history this weekend, as they begin.
3:20
The first season of the 9 v9 format in the National Women's
3:24
American Football League with the first game against Leeds
3:27
charges. It's a free entry to the game at

3:36
other small stores to keep you busy during halftime.
3:40
The match kicks off at to and You'll find more details on the
3:43
Peterborough. Royals Facebook page, and in
3:46
cricket. We got David Clarke here from
3:49
Peterboro Town Cricket Club this week.
3:50
And many of our local Cricket clubs will be hoping for better
3:54
weather this weekend. As the season begins in Earnest,
3:57
many clubs or their preseason fix fix just canceled last week,
4:01
due to the wet weather, and groundsman, and able to get two
4:03
pitches in a playable State. And we'll be hearing more from
4:07
David about the season ahead for Peterboro town as they look to
4:10
mount a challenge for the Northampton.
4:11
Near League title and we've got posture covered this week as
4:16
well. They had a tunable defeated
4:19
Cambridge last week which I won't say much about, but we did
4:21
bounce back with a 2-1 win at accrington on Tuesday, evening,
4:25
Johnson, Clark, Harris and Efron Mason Clark, the goal scorers.
4:28
And look ahead to a massive game against Ipswich tomorrow who are
4:31
chasing for promotion and themselves as automatic as poss,
4:35
chase a playoff berth, and we've got Barry fry and interview
4:41
coming up very shortly. Shortly.
4:42
Now he was talking to Kev Lawrence this week.
4:45
Looking ahead to the Ipswich game and how important Darren
4:48
Ferguson is to our playoff hopes.
4:51
We're very, very lucky to have Dharma Cantonese, chairman and
4:55
down Ferguson as manager. I mean, you know, they're both
5:01
at for promotions at this league winning trip to Wembley when we
5:06
won the Johnson phone, they're great double act.
5:11
Lot of prey. John them, Dara their support,
5:14
it Darrin inasmuch. As, in January, we had several
5:19
big offers for several of our players.
5:22
And Fergie said, I've come here to try to get a promotion to
5:26
sell my best players. We got no chance.
5:28
So, Tara didn't take any bit serious and turned them all
5:32
down. So, you know, both have done,
5:36
tremendous the Peterborough United.
5:38
They don't get the credit they deserved in my opinion.
5:44
Brilliant. That was very frightening.
5:45
I'm talking about Dynamic, Antony and Darren Ferguson as we
5:48
aim for the playoffs Posh, are currently fifth in the playoffs
5:52
and hoping to cement that place. Albeit in a tough match against
5:55
Ipswich town tomorrow at London Road and a 3 p.m. kickoff and
5:58
those are your headlines. Thank you Davis.
6:00
Again, always always lots going on in city and obviously Posh
6:04
bury things are good words. They're about the manager and
6:06
the chairman and the support that Focus has got from the
6:10
chairman, and we're into final two weeks of season, effectively
6:13
start with each switch. Tomorrow.
6:14
So it's really? Yeah, crunch time.
6:16
Crunch. Time.
6:17
Crunch time. Yeah, after the defeat Cambridge
6:19
United last Saturday which was less said the better about that
6:23
one. I think we did bounce back on
6:24
Tuesday night which is brilliant against accrington and if we can
6:27
pick up a win against the nips of side who are in beaten I
6:30
believe. Since January it'll be a tough
6:33
task, they've been scoring goals Galore recently.
6:36
So yeah, fingers crossed Posh can put in a performance more,
6:39
akin to choose to act against accrington as opposed to To the
6:43
one that they put out last Saturday against cabbage, United
6:46
raced. Oh, so tight, there's any
6:47
because, obviously, Bolton and Darby again, misfiring a little
6:50
bit, should I say it? So that's that's given push a
6:52
little bit of an advantage and Ipswich.
6:54
As you mentioned there in automatic automatic promotion
6:58
slot at the moment, Warner would want to retain it as well so it
7:00
is just it is just so so tight. Yeah, neither need a team of
7:05
want to add raw tomorrow thing that we the worst result
7:07
possible. I think both teams will be
7:08
gunning for those three points for their own differing reasons,
7:12
as well. So yeah, it's a massive
7:13
Saturday. And in Bolton actually at home
7:15
for the next. They've got a game in hand on
7:17
Posh as well and they are next three games starting tomorrow
7:19
all at home. So yeah.
7:21
It's crunch time of the season and has been for the last week
7:24
few weeks, and Pasha, certainly in the, in the thick of it.
7:28
And that's yeah. And that's football for you as
7:30
well, just to mention as well. It's also the London Marathon
7:34
this weekend. I forgot to mention that in my
7:35
headlines. But yeah, good luck to
7:37
everybody. Taking part in that many will be
7:39
running for local causes close to their hearts.
7:41
And from everybody here, at PC our Sports and production, Ecrf
7:44

10:58
Good evening, Jeff thanks. Having a back on Pleasure.
11:00
It's always good to. Hey, it's your hat trick.
11:01
Sho. Did you know that?
11:02
Oh, is it? Yes, we don't have a match ball
11:06
or Cricket or what have you but it's it is it we should give you
11:09
golden. My course I'm sure he has a hat
11:10
trick thing but yeah you're more than welcome anytime sir.
11:14
Um, yeah, crickets obviously you retained.
11:18
The captaincy have to start with first of all.
11:20
Most and that's, I know you mentioned, before that you voted
11:23
by your fellow Club, got mates, aren't you on that?
11:25
Yeah, so that's literally and that's, it's actually my eighth
11:28
Years first in Captain, which is a crazy thinking about it, but
11:32
yeah, one more year. We'll see how we go.
11:34
And is that what you said after the previous one?
11:39
But yeah, and I think it for another year.
11:41
Yeah, really enjoy it. Still enjoy playing.
11:43
Contributing and helping develop the youngsters as well.
11:47
So yeah, it's I get quite a lot from it and hopefully we can get
11:52
our title back. Yeah.
11:53
Absolutely. I don't mean obviously was three
11:54
in a row. Were you hoping for an
11:56
unprecedented four in a row? Wasn't quite to be what sort of,
12:01
you know? How would you sum up last
12:02
season? Yeah, it's a bit frustrating
12:04
really last last year. I do hate making excuses but we
12:08
had a few injuries. We have some poor availability
12:10
sort of a crunch times in the season and At our Rivals finding
12:15
and we had only three Frontline Bowlers and that game and we had
12:19
to rely on three Bowlers, hadn't bold a ball in the pram or year
12:22
and it in that kind of game. It was difficult and that sort
12:26
of summed up the the latter part of the season for us really
12:28
where we struggled a bit we lost a few games and in all honestly
12:32
didn't deserve to win the league last year, finally, a great side
12:35
and got some top players. So yeah, will be, you know,
12:38
jostling with him again this year and hopefully going to get
12:41
it back off them and you expect them to be the his Rivals.
12:44
Yeah, I think so. I mean that good good strong set
12:48
of lads who, you know, are availability every weeks,
12:50
generally, pretty good. And that's a big thing at Club
12:52
Cricket as you know, like, you know, being a bit snarky, they
12:56
put the same sort of level 12 people out, you know, the things
12:58
we've been doing quite well, the last few years and
13:02
unfortunately, we just didn't get that right last year with,
13:03
you know, no fault of our own. So yeah, I think for us it's all
13:08
about being consistent and the players taking a bit more
13:11
responsibility upon themselves on their own.
13:14
Seems really. So yeah, a lot of emphasis going
13:16
to be on, you know, guys taking, you know, a lot more
13:19
responsibility and yeah, just leading the leading from the
13:24
front really? Yeah.
13:25
Absolutely. And where is Finding Nemo.
13:28
By the way. Part of myself, where is the
13:30
village in Northampton? Yeah, sure.
13:34
Obviously, I don't need a live-in, finding a beautiful
13:38
ground. Put on the nice Crown Jewel play
13:40
at. Yeah, I'm in terms of
13:41
picturesque and a nice wicked as well.
13:43
So oh yeah, everyone quite enjoys paying their.
13:45
Yeah, absolutely. And your first game against them
13:48
is in a few weeks time, isn't it?
13:50
Do ya think you're saying early June?
13:51
Yeah, yeah. So we got them again.
13:53
We got think about the last game of the season as well, so it
13:55
could be, it could be interesting.
13:56
So we'll see how it goes. Try to decide are so.
13:59
So how's the preparation going for the new season?
14:01
So, yeah, that's been all right, actually managed to get game in
14:04
last weekend, play Sunday. Paid, unless to share with head
14:07
against Langton CC, which credit to them got the game on.
14:11
You're quite lucky in the respect that they had a game.
14:13
Wait, before in the village cup or the S did, and they had a
14:18
picture of a sort of ready and covered, and we managed to get
14:22
games bit wet, then get me wrong.
14:23
But we as great to get out there and you know, a lot of sides
14:26
have not been able to get out there, this this preseason and
14:29
we're a club that lots of play three or four games if we can.
14:32
But you're getting out there that once was probably hopefully
14:34
prove quite valuable. Yeah, brilliant.
14:37
How's the squad looking obviously most notably I guess
14:39
is the addition of Z10 Manzo from Market deeping me let's
14:43
just Club. Yeah.
14:44
It's, which is easy, be legally from links to know that.
14:47
Yeah. And obviously had a great season
14:49
deep in last season's? Yeah, he's good.
14:51
Addition any? Yeah, that is absolutely brings
14:54
up something a bit different to our team.
14:55
He's quite Dynamic and he hits the ball a long way.
14:59
He doesn't ask your name. Yeah we've seen him a few over
15:01
the villagers the thing. So you know with us our Lads you
15:06
know he brings us something a little bit different especially
15:08
sort of number 45. We're going to back and
15:11
especially in the 2020 and the national knockout.
15:13
To think it'll prove really valuable.
15:15
If he gets in Britain gate, it could be quite hard for them to
15:18
get out and if he's going to be banging of the light.
15:20
So Josh and Nick, it could be great to watch it some points in
15:23
the season. So exciting, isn't it?
15:25
So I say something different. What was the kind of thinking
15:28
behind that? Well, yet his kids play at the
15:30
club, so they play down at on the Friday nights.
15:35
You know, his mates, have quite a lot of the lads in the club.
15:39
Yeah, I'm just wanted to play in a bit of a challenge, really and
15:42
play and play with us. So you got it.
15:43
Green there as well. Another X deeping.
15:45
Yes. Come up through the ranks at the
15:47
thing in DTF. Looking forward to this is s
15:51
what s season with Town. Yeah.
15:52
I joined us halfway through last year from Loughborough.
15:55
Yeah. Alexander left-hander but he's
15:58
been born in pretty. Wild winter in Australia.
16:00
So, yeah, we're really looking forward to watching him play
16:03
this year because he, you know, he's had a full winter and he
16:07
had it with, you know, a decent season by all accounts in
16:08
Australia, and it's about bowling against.
16:11
He didn't do much worse last year.
16:12
Said a bit of an injury, but yeah.
16:14
Is backfiring and yeah, we're looking forward to seeing a very
16:17
useful all-rounder. Yeah.
16:19
Hit the ball hard obviously. Left-handed.
16:20
Yeah. From an opening or number three
16:22
perhaps and then can open the polling as well.
16:23
Pretend, yeah. It's like having a new player
16:25
especially the ball so yeah, he's going to be one to watch
16:28
for us to see. They're definitely fantastic any
16:31
other editions discarding. Any other sort of changes to of
16:34
note to mention oh I lost Anna Muhammad.
16:36
He's gone back to Brick stock in our league.
16:39
So unfortunately we'll miss Danny.
16:42
Let's say Nick is bowling more covers Us in that respect with
16:46
the ball. Not you've got see China in and
16:48
we're going to miss study Salim for a bit of the Season as well
16:52
as Dentistry course up in Manchester so he's going to
16:55
probably start playing and July time.
16:58
So yeah, there's all the notable absences really from us.
17:02
But as I say, we've got quite a lot of depth and strength and
17:05
depth, and hopefully we can use that strength and depth to our
17:08
advantage issue, Scoot, and any sort of what about the pathway
17:11
from the youth and sort of the second.
17:13
So forth is a yeah promising sort of talent coming through.
17:16
There's a lot of the youngsters going to have to pay in the to
17:18
this year. That's a you know that's
17:21
actually happening tomorrow because we're missing a few
17:24
tomorrow. So yeah they're going to have to
17:26
step up and play in the 2's will be really good for us.
17:29
It's division one Cricket, it's tough cricket and there's no
17:33
better place to learn and Cricket playing against the team
17:35
of relegated from our league. First next year.
17:37
I'm sorry, tomorrow in Russian town, and they've got their
17:40
overseas back who's prolific in the pram.
17:42
So that's going to be interesting.
17:44
Division one. Yeah.
17:45
Unbelievable believable and you're talking about your the
17:48
length of your captaincy, you know, you're in the right season
17:51
and that Legacy that you're going to leave in terms of
17:54
development of the club. Would you say the youth element
17:56
of it? Is something that you'll will be
17:58
proud of that. You look back on it in the
17:59
season. Yeah.
18:00
If you don't do a night. Yeah, absolutely.
18:02
I think you look at the players have gone on not just to play
18:06
well in the first team but in the second team you know big
18:08
parts of getting the team up to division.
18:09
One winning the Prem you know, when we won the pram in 29 In
18:13
2020, most of the pages that come up through the youth ranks.
18:16
And for me, it's nothing. We spoke about this before on
18:18
the show, it's nothing better than seeing youngsters who've
18:21
come through the ranks, that contributed to your teams and
18:23
then go on to play for cams and then hire as well.
18:27
Getting second team games for the likes of northants, or, or
18:30
less this year, or age group Cricket for England, which are
18:34
few of them done in the past as well.
18:35
So, yeah, we really, really like the pathway and really sort of
18:39
passionate about getting players and giving them the opportunity
18:41
to play and go to that next level.
18:43
And It's actually next close debut for cancer.
18:45
So yeah, just seen that social and mentioned gonna play for
18:48
makes his debut for comes in the T20 is on Sunday so that's great
18:51
to see as one and only Muhammad's and that thanks
18:53
bangs. Well yeah.
18:54
Well yeah. A couple of strong Paper Town
18:57
connections there. Exactly.
18:58
Yeah. Yeah that's really good news.
19:00
It like say it's in terms of Legacy.
19:03
I don't know if they do, It's Tricky one.
19:06
Let's hope your title. I probably will after we looked
19:08
for look at that in, you know, where I stopped playing.
19:10
But you know, I think the main thing for me is Bringing women
19:14
bring players in, make sure they feel welcome, make sure they
19:18
feel really comfortable in the environment as a, really big
19:20
thing for me and you have all the right sort of characters and
19:24
personalities within your team. It does a lot in terms of
19:28
breeding success. And that Spirit, you know,
19:30
especially in tough times during the course of a long day in the
19:32
field, for example, or on a cold rainy day, potentially just
19:36
having that mental battle that it.
19:38
Yeah. So about game is all about the
19:40
people really, you know, it's if you know, you're spending a long
19:43
time, I mean these guys on the field and all season traveling
19:45
and yes really important to get that sort of Team cohesion,
19:49
right. And that goes a long way to sort
19:52
of set. The success we've had in the
19:53
last sort of five or six years. Yeah, it's about like say is
19:57
gelling the personalities and then in the characters in that
19:59
dressing room, not just a technical abilities and
20:02
initially the battle isn't it? That's it.
20:04
Yeah. Playing as a team that's the
20:06
main thing, you know, we always talk about how we want to be a
20:08
good team and not team of individuals.
20:11
So, yeah, that's a big thing for us.
20:13
In terms of our Mentality really?
20:15
Yeah. Brilliant.
20:16
In terms of squad health and that everyone looking good and
20:19
you may wish to mention about the lab going off to do his
20:21
Dentistry but you have not any injuries or any everyone's
20:24
looking in. Good shape.
20:24
Yeah. No.
20:25
We'll all looking alright. Yeah.
20:27
Yeah. If you stiff bodies after the
20:28
game Someday, I'm gonna live. Yeah.
20:32
Everyone's raring to go tomorrow and hopefully area Blank Stare
20:35
at the weather for it and you get also at half decent start?
20:39
Yeah absolutely first game at home kissing Barry.
20:43
Yes. These are start I guess for use
20:45
in terms of yeah from an opponent perspective, no
20:47
disrespect to them but you fancy chances.
20:50
Yeah I think so. If we play well, I think we
20:52
should put in a good performance.
20:55
They're quite a good side of got a few recruits.
20:58
I've got an overseas, I've got down Gogh son's pain from limb.
21:01
He who paid a rushed in last year.
21:04
So, yeah, we know quite a few of their players and they're good
21:06
lads as well. So yeah, there's no easy games.
21:09
Really have through down to 10 teams in our league.
21:13
He used to have a The Freebase DNA hit both teams.
21:16
This be some games with audio, definitely win this game, but
21:20
the moment in the sort of 10 team structure, it's a lot more
21:24
competitive and I think that's what we found the last few
21:26
years. It's been, it's been a bit more.
21:29
The games have been closer and you know, got two different
21:32
formats but win lose draw which we start tomorrow and whites and
21:34
Red Bull and then second off the season we go to the cutter kit
21:38
and pink ball win-lose. So I think those two sort of
21:41
changes. So the number of teams and the
21:43
Format of really strengthen the league.
21:46
Definitely. Okay.
21:47
Good stuff. We'll hear more about that in a
21:49
minute because it'd be interesting.
21:49
Know why that's changed. Joe's changes have occurred but

23:20
Local around the patch to do with sports or sporting clubs
23:24
and local stars and figure which we've got on stars in the studio
23:27
with us this evening. David Clarke captain from the
23:30
petition from the Peterboro Town Cricket Club just been speaking
23:33
about preparation for the new season and and summing up the
23:37
events of last season as well and just talk about the Changes
23:40
in the league format and some of the way, the competition will
23:44
play out this year. So the Region's be reduced from
23:47
12 to 2 10. You were saying and obviously in
23:50
terms of win-lose draw and win-lose, there's a split
23:53
between the start and the end of the seat as well.
23:55
What's the, what's the thinking behind that from from the from
23:57
the League's? I think it's more what the
23:59
players want in terms of the feedback that we got from the
24:02
players that they think is the end of the 2019 season or 2020
24:06
seasoned criminal was but in terms of figure out what you
24:09
know, what will keep Sighs in the game.
24:11
What's best for the game? What other ECB Premier League's
24:14
doing? Are they doing a similar thing?
24:16
What's working? What's not?
24:18
So went through sort of a quite a long process to go through,
24:21
you know, what would work for our league?
24:24
And like it's like, says work pretty well.
24:27
It gives you no different, you know, it gets to what you draw
24:30
element part of it because I think a lot of people do like
24:32
that and you got really work for you win but also in the second
24:36
half of season, it's more more entertainment, you got more runs
24:39
balls flying off the bat of the Iqbal wickets a better obviously
24:42
later in the summer. So yeah, breed some good cricket
24:45
and in the middle of our league was quite unique.
24:48
I think we have a twenty20 competitions as well.
24:50
So we have a two or three week break in June July, where we
24:54
just stop all the cricket and play twenty20 cricket and that's
24:57
on a Saturday and then you place all around Robbins with between
25:01
a few teams and yet you qualify for finals day.
25:03
Again, on a Saturday is great for a club, you can get your bar
25:06
open, you can get some catering down and stuff, and make it a
25:08
big day. So yeah, that's that's going to
25:12
be really exciting that as well part of part of the season.
25:15
So yeah, it's worked pretty well.
25:16
The last couple of couple of years and I will be surprised
25:20
seeing more and more leagues during the 2020 in the middle of
25:23
season because you know how hard it is on a Tuesday night to get
25:26
a team out at 6:30 with the fading light 20, 30 miles, an
25:30
example of when people are working.
25:31
Yeah, it's yeah, it's sort of trying to find that solution
25:34
where we can get the best of both really.
25:36
But what we found is that some of the teams were quite weak and
25:39
in the in the midweek stuff or even we moved to Sundays because
25:42
people aren't available. So now it gives the, you know,
25:45
the best opportunity for the for the best Cricket to be played
25:49
and then you know the next round is on the national stage is
25:52
where we face. You're the winners of other
25:54
leagues so yeah, that's always something will be aspiring to
25:57
do. Yeah.
25:58
Excellent. And and is that something that's
26:00
reflected across other leagues? Or was it just particular to the
26:03
north ants? The mid Premier?
26:05
Yeah, the mid-season T20 is just for us.
26:07
I think it might be a couple more but I think others They're
26:10
either on Sunday, round robin or midweek T20 on a Tuesday night,
26:14
for example. So yeah, we're quite unique in
26:17
that respect. So you're like I said, it might
26:20
be something that other leaks might adopt down down the line,
26:22
potentially, if they see it works quite well, but yeah, it's
26:27
it's exciting time. And yeah, we'll be doing our
26:30
best cause finding the double last year we were doing our best
26:32
to try and get that back off of because I was just, let's kind
26:35
of led me nicely into the asking, you what?
26:36
The aims for the season are really is and obviously given In
26:40
the last few years and the success ultimately, you want to
26:42
win everything and win every game you play in.
26:44
But is that the effectively what you're aiming for me is that you
26:48
just go into every game looking for the win?
26:51
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
26:52
We know the way you want to play cricket we want to we want to
26:54
win on a play, hard want to play fair and respectful opposition
26:58
and do it the right way. And that's a big thing for me
27:00
and our our team is playing the right way and in the right
27:03
Spirit but also you can you know let your Cricut do the talking
27:07
on the field as well. So yeah, that's All about for
27:10
us, trying to win as many games we can.
27:13
And if we don't win our game delightfully, we've you know,
27:15
put the effort in to show that you know, given a good guy and
27:19
that's all you can ask for as a captain really.
27:22
So yeah, that's that's going to be the mentality about.
27:24
Yeah, probably mention later on in the show we've got a few big
27:26
events at the club this year so the be a lot of focus on that as
27:29
well as we get closer to sort of, June July time.
27:33
So yeah, the committee, we're going to be quite quite busy and
27:36
a lot of volunteers are going to have to do some long shifts.
27:40
Later on in the summer. So that we get let's talk about
27:42
now is because I was gonna bring them up anyway but years as
27:44
you've mentioned them chairman Brian.
27:46
Howard is on with Kevin Lawrence.
27:47
Yes this is the morning actually and the breakfast show talking
27:50
about the the charity matching particular.
27:53
PCA England Legends, charity match on the Friday, the 28th of
27:56
July. Yeah to in Aid of improving
27:59
certain facilities at the club Pavilion and Patio as he is
28:03
known as yes and to raise money for Great Ormond Street as well.
28:06
So that's one of those table. Probably one of the events you
28:08
talk about that coming up in the summer.
28:09
Yeah. Sedate that weekend for us is a
28:11
big one. So as you say on the 28th of
28:13
July we host it PCA England Legends down at Bretton gate,
28:18
we've been told three players so far.
28:20
So Alex tutor. We've got some it Patel and the
28:24
other one I can announce is Adam Holly Oak as well.
28:28
So there are three at the moment.
28:30
So we're looking forward to having 11, England Legends down
28:33
at the gate, and going to do some core processor, tality in
28:37
the in a VIP, Marky where they sit on the table.
28:40
Abel's and be part of the the afternoon, with the guests and
28:42
interact and and also be part of the juniors in the morning as
28:45
well as they go around. All the groups and lend some
28:48
tips and run a few little drills for them as well.
28:50
So I think that'd be really good for for our Juniors but yeah for
28:54
us it's a big Community event. We want to be, you want everyone
28:57
in Peterborough to come down and watch this game because I think
29:00
it's a great opportunity to come and watch them some former past
29:03
stars of England player T20. And yeah, be a great test for
29:08
the lads and a really good game to be involved in a Player as
29:10
well. So, yeah, we're all looking
29:12
forward to it and yeah, hopefully, I'll be a great day.
29:15
Sounds exciting. It really does.
29:17
And it's, you know, I think that's the thing about Peter
29:19
Italians always something something standout event, taking
29:23
place every year, in the other County game last year.
29:25
This obviously this year, so it's always something other than
29:28
just the day-to-day Cricket going on, isn't there the club
29:30
in his? That's great to see as well?
29:32
I mean, later on that week and we host northamptonshire.
29:35
So Cambridge, have you northamptonshire in in the NCCA
29:39
showcase game? So on that day of the, some
29:41
showcase games going around across the country and we're
29:45
lucky enough to host the Cambridge and northants game and
29:47
north on 7th. Played a row since like 20 years
29:50
ago. Yeah, yeah, 20 30 years ago.
29:52
So, yeah, it's great to have them back in some professionals
29:56
down, pain, or ground and it shows, you know how far we've
29:59
come as a clubbing and in terms of hosting an event like that
30:02
our picture facility and hopefully we know we've got the
30:07
the volunteer structure in place on the day to make sure Run
30:10
smoothly Grandma's got his job, cut out and they put, yeah.
30:17
So am I right in thinking North hands?
30:18
Going back a good, many years. No, thanks were once actually.
30:23
Occupies of that of that of the pit of the ground, at Brown
30:25
gaiters are their home? It was actually caught on road.
30:28
Back in the 70s. Looking out my road as well.
30:31
Yeah, today's the grounds. Yeah.
30:34
So, Peterboro Town. Well, picture of time.
30:36
Middle Fan's perspective. Yeah.
30:38
Planning that late for a number of years.
30:39
Yeah, Yeah, and all that ants are no strangers to this County.
30:42
Perhaps not as much in recent years but back in the day they
30:46
were used to be a real strong history of northants playing
30:48
their county cricket in Peterborough.
30:50
Yeah. When when Peter was part of
30:52
Cambridge, sorry part of North have.
30:53
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
30:55
So there's there's a good nostalgic.
30:57
Element is right. There is yeah, the old Murr
30:59
first is new in terms of Cambridge reverses
31:00
northamptonshire as far as the absolute Club is concerned.
31:02
Yeah. And hopefully we'll have a
31:03
couple of players representing our club against North and so it
31:06
should be great to see. And again it will be that a
31:09
ticket. Event that one as a minor County
31:13
showcase game. So tickets are available to buy
31:15
online for that game on the North answer website.
31:19
If people want to come down but yeah hopefully that'll be a good
31:23
weekend of weather. Let's hope so.
31:25
We've got that and I'll see we've got like to say we have
31:27
got the the three-day County game later on in the summer in
31:30
August, where cams host Cumbria. And that's the 20th of August
31:34
21st and 22nd and then later on in the summer, we host for the
31:38
first time North sounds too. Is it Place Sussex and afford a
31:42
game? So, again, our grounds is going
31:43
to work out, not just preparing their game, but obviously for
31:46
our own games as well. So it's gonna be a busy time of
31:50
the gate busy time on the ground, and that's what you want
31:53
to see. Really, you know, the club.
31:55
I was gonna say, actually, get over there, is there, is that
31:57
wear and tear on the ground? Obviously, at the groundsman,
32:00
the grounds people need to prepare it obviously for the
32:02
Showcase games because you've probably got there.
32:05
I say players of a certain caliber coming to play.
32:08
So you, there's an expectation to have a ground in certain But
32:11
potentially, you don't want that to detriment you in terms of
32:13
your drive to win, titles, this year, either did absolutely.
32:16
Yeah, gotta get that balance. Right?
32:17
And I think we've, I think Gary's in Marcus who pitches for
32:20
those two that for that weekend they're like I say is there's a
32:24
great job. Anyway.
32:24
So I'm pretty confident. He'll you know, he'll be fine
32:27
and in terms of propeller is workload and his preparation
32:30
time for the normal, you know, Pete was down fixtures.
32:35
So, yeah, hopefully, yeah. Like I say, we do get some good
32:38
wickets as well because You don't you should save them for
32:41
the PCA and North answer. Yeah, that's been really good.
32:44
The last couple of years so all last five or six years since
32:47
Gary's taken over on the ground. So yeah.
32:50
Hopefully similar some of the last time, I'll be great in
32:53
terms of whether so yeah, hopefully we can have a good
32:57
summer of cricket and looking forward to having many, many
33:00
people down as possible at the club.
33:02
Yeah, absolutely. Just stepping back to the
33:04
charity game that the, with the Legend.
33:06
So it's obviously to improve facilities.
33:10
Cup. What's the plan with the club in
33:12
terms of to? What's the refurbishment plans
33:15
that yes, in the last couple of years, we've done quite a lot.
33:18
In terms of inside, we've improved like, the foyer we've
33:21
done down the changing rooms and of the toilets with various
33:24
grants and things like that, which has been really good
33:26
because it's quite dated building and we want to sort of
33:30
reflect that in terms of the kind of sports club, we are not
33:34
just Cricket but also all the other sports and make it more of
33:38
a welcoming environment. And the think the out Door space
33:40
is one where the patio looks very 1970s.
33:43
You know it needs updating and there's no if you go down in the
33:46
summer when there's no Marquis ER there's actually no cover for
33:50
from the Sun on a hot hot day. So now we're really place to get
33:54
shaved to get shade on the ground so the idea would be to
33:57
get some sort of either semi-permanent or permanent
34:01
Roofing structure from The Pavilion going over the patio
34:04
area and also refurb in the patio as well.
34:07
So obviously it's going to benefit.
34:10
The whole planets Cricket, the whole club, the community
34:12
members, guess you coming come to the club.
34:15
Also, we're looking to raise money for Great Ormond Street
34:17
Hospital, charity as well, which is, it's quite sad story.
34:21
It's it relates to one of our members whose sister sadly
34:26
passed away last winter and I'll be more details on the store at
34:31
the full story of that coming out in the next couple of weeks.
34:34
But our charity of choice for 2023 is going to be the Great
34:37
Ormond Street Hospital charity. Which will be raising funds for
34:41
at the PCA game as well but also various other fundraising events
34:46
at the club throughout the year. So that's going to be, you know,
34:50
it's really important one for us and quite close to people's
34:53
hearts of the club which hopefully people can get behind.
34:56
Yeah absolutely. Fantastic causes to raise money
34:58
for. So in terms of the funding
35:00
needed for the for the facilities Improvement is there
35:03
a target funds Target amount. You're looking to achieve from
35:07
if so. Are you have to suck it up?
35:08
And I'm out. So therefore if Listeners out
35:10
there that that maybe want to contribute in other ways they
35:12
can do. Absolutely.
35:14
That's that'd be brilliant. If they could we've got no
35:16
figure in mind. It's hard to say you know cost
35:18
gonna have a builder charges these days.
35:22
Yeah. Material going up all the time.
35:23
So yeah I think the main sort of thing for us we'll be raising
35:27
from the court hospitality and getting businesses down who
35:31
linked to you like the sports who are linked to the club link
35:34
to Peterborough area Cambridgeshire and want to a
35:38
really good afternoon out of the cricket.
35:40
Are they can bring 9 or 10 of their, their employees, or
35:43
customers, or, you know, stakeholders, whoever down to
35:46
the down to the ground and enjoy some entertainment, and

You're listening to pee-pee asshole.
39:04
Welcome back to the PCR Sports show here on piece.
39:07
Rfm, if you've missed any of the show, you can listen back to it
39:10
after 7 p.m. If you go back up, if you go
39:11
onto our website, PCR, FM, .co.uk and press to listen,
39:15
again, option and you can catch up on Tonight Show is been a
39:18
brilliant show so far. We David Clarke captain from the
39:21
Peterborough Town, Quick Club on us telling us about the new
39:24
season and events at the club and what's going to be happening
39:28
throughout the summer. So it's a great show so far.
39:30
So don't if you have missed it, then do go back and and listen.
39:33
To it. So we just talked about the
39:35
fundraising event that's taking place at the club in the summer
39:39
28th of July game against the PCA England Legends to raise
39:44
money for Club facilities and the Great Ormond Street.
39:47
Children's Hospital. I guess other ways to raise
39:51
money is through merchandising is it from?
39:53
We saw the snazzy third shirt in the studio before the show
39:56
started and a photo that we going up later on our social.
39:59
So there's just different ways to try and sort of bring some in
40:03
Means it's not in there. Yeah, absolutely our club shops
40:06
available. So yeah, we had a few people,
40:08
not even players are members of bought a few bits of Chris, who
40:10
does the kite kit, which is brilliant.
40:14
So yeah, he's a, he's done a great job for us in producing
40:16
our kit. And yeah, if we can raise a bit
40:18
more money, that way even better because he does actually do the
40:22
hockey club as well. So, any sales you make through
40:25
that go, and they, he makes a contribution back into the
40:28
picture and for the, for the hockey, as well.
40:30
So it all comes back into the club in some way.
40:33
So, it's Great clicks, not on the third kit.
40:35
If I had to describe it would be kind of a passively rainbow
40:39
rainbow it sort of Blended colored shirt.
40:42
Yeah. It's like, last was fully a good
40:44
description. Yeah.
40:46
Wait. Till I see him.
40:47
I'm not a fan of the modern game.
40:53
Shall we say modern way now? Isn't it now?
40:56
Absolutely, I think a lot of it's been quite popular.
41:00
Yeah, the kids enjoy it. It's quite nice.
41:02
It's bit different than that. Polly.
41:04
Why people like? It's absolutely talking to kids,
41:08
let's just chat about the youth side of the club and dynamos
41:12
Friday night, competitions. So yeah.
41:15
How's that looking? And obviously, was we mentioned
41:16
earlier in the show, with me that's mentioned.
41:18
You've been quite pivotal in the way, the youth setups been
41:21
progressing. The last few years.
41:22
Yes, a big part of our club, you know?
41:24
So we start tonight with our Junior set up.
41:28
So, I under 911s, their teens and 15 is will be down there
41:31
tonight right now. And then going into the summer.
41:35
So the third of May, I believe, sorry, 5th of May Friday 5th of
41:39
May are all stars program starts, which is needs to be
41:42
initiative that runs for eight weeks.
41:45
The kids, you sign up getting freaked.
41:47
It you're putting no. That's nearly sure.
41:48
They sign up they get Kit. They get the bat the shirt and
41:51
they take part in. You know, some really fun
41:54
activities relating to Cricket to get them into the sport.
41:57
And then the same day on Friday, the 5th of May are dynamos
42:01
girls-only program starts. So Been running the last couple
42:04
of years, for girls only between age 8, and 8, Sr 8, and 11,
42:09
that's been really successful. And we've got a couple of
42:12
coaches who have been running that really well.
42:14
The last couple of years and we're looking forward to seeing
42:16
that grow and developing them out of sort of young females at
42:20
playing the game as well. So yes, exciting time.
42:24
So the I'll say that the dynamos and the All-Star start on the
42:27
5th of May. And yeah, the the junior program
42:30
she starts tonight and runs until the end of September.
42:32
Yeah. And you've got HK Oops, as well,
42:34
having age group Cricket as well from elevens all the way up to
42:36
18. So I think it is.
42:37
Yeah, yeah. Which just shows the way the
42:42
club's built, if that makes sense, you know, you've got that
42:44
stable base and that progression through the ranks, makes it a
42:48
positive for the club, for the first team of second team that
42:50
you've just been talking about. Ya know, it does it mean Inderal
42:53
Evans? Played a couple of indoor
42:54
tournaments in the in the winter and they have enjoyed their
42:57
crickets? Oh yeah.
42:58
Like you say in the 911s 13 will be starting to fix your soon.
43:03
Either a midweek. Go on Sundays.
43:06
So yeah, we'll be posting on our social media what's, you know,
43:08
going on each week at the club, in terms of the junior fixtures,
43:12
as well as a senior fixtures, which will be great.
43:15
And like that goes all the way up to this or the end of 15 and
43:17
a 17 s. And I'm not sure if there's
43:19
under-19 competition happening again this year, that's always
43:21
good. Fun, for the under-19s as well.
43:25
So yeah, the the more kids we see down the club playing
43:28
Cricket enjoying crickets main thing.
43:30
And we had 115 kids down at one point last year.
43:33
We're in the height of Summer, which is brilliant to see,
43:37
probably be less than night of the weather.
43:40
Hopefully if you be down there enjoying their cricket and yeah,
43:43
as we go into a big summer of cricket in terms of the ashes
43:46
starting in June, we're looking forward to that as well.
43:49
So, do you think Kim the way the hundreds developed the last
43:53
couple of years side, that knock-on effect, a junior
43:56
Cricket? Or is it a case of brother
43:59
sisters that are older perhaps being brought into the game to
44:02
their parents? It makes because, you know,
44:05
we've talked about adult Cricket for example, numbers, struggling
44:08
in terms of availability, and you need that conveyor belt of
44:13
Juniors and talent coming through in that way as well.
44:15
You do you need strong structures at junior level, you
44:18
know, like sending nines Levin's 13g key areas and keeping them
44:22
involved at sort of 15 to 17 is a real challenge.
44:24
That's the that's the age groups.
44:25
I think you've probably lose the children.
44:27
Yeah, exams University, for example.
44:29
Yeah. And you know, other interest
44:31
coming, you know, the sports, you know, Whether they want to
44:34
study more or yeah, it's a bit of a challenge.
44:36
So between sort of 15 and 18, it's quite a challenge to keep
44:39
than playing and getting them into sort of third second team
44:41
first team. But yeah, like I said, I think
44:43
the hundreds I think Thunder has been actually quite good in
44:45
terms of getting kids and the interest involved with the game,
44:50
you know getting the kids down watching cricket and now some
44:52
people might not be your fan of the format tradition.
44:55
It's like they're you know like the 2020 more than the 100 but I
44:58
think in terms of getting you know the audience out there are
45:01
more kids more girls, more women, Watching the game, I
45:04
think it's great but yeah, just get a bit of stick the hundred
45:10
and it's all part of supposed of.
45:11
Yes. It's the sport element as well
45:13
but it's about their own personal development as well.
45:15
Isn't it coming into sort of a their peers and other
45:18
environments and that's what sport does as well.
45:21
And that's the facility that you're providing their
45:23
absolutely yeah. It's all about, you know,
45:24
working as a team you can learn so much from different people at
45:27
the club. You know you networking as you
45:29
get older and older you realize the importance of networking.
45:32
So yeah. It's a, we spend a lot of time
45:34
together so you get used to each other and it people's habits and
45:39
stuff and juniors will find that grown up with each other playing
45:42
from under 922 under-17. They'll enjoy, you know, they'll
45:45
create some really good friendships from way you can use
45:48
sport as white finish for. Yeah.
45:49
Probably, you know, go and play tennis or go for a bike ride or
45:53
whatever is as a friendship group, you know?
45:56
And that's what it's all about at the end of the day.
45:58
Yeah, absolutely. It's a difference creates a
46:00
different friendship. Groups of ones are perhaps used
46:02
to being at school or The street or whatever is another sort of
46:06
opening of another social Arenas.
46:07
Yeah. It was the meaning of lots of
46:09
different schools at one place particular on a Friday night for
46:12
our guys. So yeah, be sort of interaction
46:15
with kids from other schools and yeah.
46:19
So it's all in all. It's a good thing for it.
46:20
And if there's kids listening, now, obviously or parents are
46:23
listening and they want their kids to probably look into
46:25
Cricket. How would they get in touch with
46:27
a club bought that? I need to do is either open days
46:29
or can I just kind of get in touch and come along Tuesday or
46:31
Friday evening? Yeah, that'd be the best thing
46:32
that's get in touch. Okay.
46:33
Either by email or just through our website or contact form on
46:37
our website and that would be the best way to get involved and
46:39
then come down on a Friday night.
46:42
And yeah, the coach will take you in whichever age group or
46:46
child. It is in really.
46:47
So you're more than welcome. Excellent.
46:49
And I know that if you search Peterboro Town Cricket Club or
46:51
even Peter, return CC, it comes up on Google Rider top.
46:54
So that's all you need to search for.
46:55
And then, like David said, just get in touch through the website
46:57
and and they'll do the rest. So talk about the history of the
47:02
club will not talk about it, but I want to Start to about
47:04
history, the club. We've got a few minutes left
47:07
Brian. Howard mentioned on the
47:09
interviewee Kevlar was yesterday, that, that there's
47:11
been history. Now, charted back to the 1850s
47:14
for the club, which is unbelievable, isn't it?
47:16
Oh, that's incredible. Yeah, it's begins Brian.
47:18
He said, is uncovered. Some some really top players,
47:21
you've played, you know, not just for Peterborough, but for
47:24
northamptonshire and play some really high representative
47:27
Cricket. So be really good to get some
47:29
more information from, you know, either the archives or Or people
47:34
that know people that might have some old photos or, you know,
47:39
new playbook, subscribe things, yeah, cuttings anything like
47:43
that please do get in touch with us because that would be really,
47:45
really good to have. And I think down the line we
47:47
want to have a sort of page or somewhere at the club where
47:50
we've got all that history, dating back to the night 1850
47:53
because I think will be really interesting for us to find that
47:57
out love. Yeah.
47:58
Because I think it's a piece of a town would make a case to
48:00
potentially be the oldest sporting club in the city.
48:02
Then I would imagine Wrecked, the Rugby Club have got some
48:05
records around the 1870s, maybe 1880s on our, but ya know,
48:10
everybody and it's all about. Yeah, the history is really
48:12
getting. Got respect the history of the,
48:14
the of the sport and of the club.
48:16
It's brilliant. Really that the guys have found
48:18
this out and continue to find this out, and I'll be looking
48:22
back at some of the old faces, the gate, the games going on
48:24
across Thorn Road. It's great seeing it right in
48:27
the city centre. And I think there's a couple of
48:30
International Teams at New Zealand and Pakistan, both
48:32
played their against North ants. As well.
48:34
So it's brilliant really seeing those old clippings and some old
48:38
photos that have been around and the records, you can actually go
48:41
back and look at them on online that those kind of top players
48:45
have been playing in Peterborough.
48:46
So, yeah, it's really interesting, fantastic.
48:48
Well, good luck with that. And it would that be kind of Pop
48:50
information published on the website, eventually, it will be
48:52
a plan. Yeah.
48:53
Look published on the website and then maybe have a sort of
48:57
wall area at the club or something, but yeah.
48:59
Well, we'll keep everyone up to date with that and yeah, I'm
49:02
sure a lot of people Especially pay for peace, where in the
49:05
past, or had some connection with the club will find quite
49:07
interesting. Fantastic.
49:09
Well, David, it comes the end of our show and fortunately, but
49:11
it's been as always always a pleasure to have you on the show
49:13

49:16
everyone involved, all the best for the season.
