Listen now
Description
In this episode we interview three stalwarts of the Pirates cricket team, Port Talbot Town Cricket Club.  They are, in no particular order: Mark Jones Ian Rees  Ray Cox We talk about their early years, discovering cricket and joining the club as well as a little bit of the history of the club which dates from around 1963.  We hear about some of their exploits as players including Ray playing First Division cricket with both his sons. The gents then answered a series of questions aimed at getting them to talk about their cricketing pasts.  The questions, again, in no particular order, were: Your most memorable match you were involved in. Best individual performance. Favourite ground. Favourite players to play with. Favourite players to play against. A favourite cricketing story We talked about the honour that the club had bestowed upon the three of them last year when they were given caps commemmorating their 50 years or more service to the club as players and administrators. We finish the gent's hopes for the future of the club.  There are some great, funny stories in here.  We hope you enjoyed the listen.
