Neath Cricket Club - 175th Anniversary

Tell us what you think of this episode

Neath Cricket Club was founded in 1848 and is this year celebrating it’s 175th Anniversary.  As part of it’s celebrations it hosted an MCC XI at the Gnoll on Wednesday 14th June.

We went along and recorded a series of interviews with those who were in attendance.  They included life members, committee members, supporters, the match manager and captain of the MCC on the day and the professional caterer that was there.
