Q & A with Trevor Crouch

ORGANISED cricket is such a fundamental and essential part of today's recreational landscape that it's hard to imagine a time when it did not exist, but that's the starting point for an absorbing new book that explores the development of the sport in the Bristol area.

Trevor Crouch, the president of the Bristol & District League, and Bristol United Banks stalwart Edwin Morris have teamed up to produce the 164-page tome.

And it's a treasure trove of facts, figures and fascinating insights that takes readers on a journey from the first recorded match in the city in 1752 - on Durdham Down when a Bristol XI hosted a London XI – through to 1973 and the introduction of league cricket.

Trevor will be a very special guest at Walkers and Talkers on November 19 when copies of the book will be on sale.

Come and join us on this Wednesday…
