It’s been the final week of the over 60s and over 70s county cricket championship competitions with eight finals scheduled for the O60s and the 1st XI Cup final for the O70s

But no-one told the weather!

Of the 9 finals 4 will now be played at the start of the 2025 season, 2 were decided by DLS and 3 were completed.

Congratulations to all the winners - as well as Essex who won the O60s 4th Division and Hertfordshire who are champions of the O70s 2nd XI competition.

Next week we will be covering the O60s Tri-Nations competition featuring Scotland, Wales, England and England Lions (is that the Lions team Freddie Flintoff is coaching?)

The domestic season has now finished but we’ve got a packed autumn programme of guests lined up for you.

We will also be sharing our own teams of the year - caveat: we can’t be in it, our team mates can’t be in it and the players we select we must have either played against or seen live in action in 2024.

Will you make our teams?

So who's going to make the semi-finals of the O60s 1st XI comps? Lots of places across the Cup, Vase and Bowl still to play for in next week's final round of phase 2 matches.

In the O60s 2nd XI phase 2 it was round 4 of 5 this week in the Cup, Vase and Bowl groups and again lots of places up for grabs in the semis going in to next week's final phase 2 matches.

So what are your thoughts on phase 2? Use the 'send us a text message' button or drop an email to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk to let us know.

O60s Div 3 Cup and Vase quarter finals start next week.

O60s Div 4 has a three more rounds to go with the league positions to decide the winners.

In the O70s Div 1 this week it was the quarter finals of the Cup, Vase and Bowl with the top match in the Cup being the repeat of last year's final where Gloucestershire beat Surrey. Not this time though with Surrey winning so the holders are out.

In the O70s Div 2 the league structure continues for three more weeks.

What a week its been for O60s / 70s cricket.

Richard Merriman steps down as England O60s skipper and is replaced by vice-captain Edward Gordon-Lennox. Then a couple of days later there is the announcement of the squad to travel to Australia for the Grey Ashes. Six players included who didn't play in the World Cup including a couple we don't really know.

Plus the O70s World Cup is reaching its latter stages.

And we've got a round up of all the matches played in the county championship this week including an amazing tie in the South Cup group and what may have been a bit of a controversial finish to a match in the Cup North group.

As we broadcast Australia will be in the O70s World Cup final on Sunday (11th) with the Friday match between England and Canada likely to decide who they will play.

The O70s Cup, Vase and Bowl quarter-finals are on August 22nd.

Full draw here

There were one or two replays in Over 70s Division Two so we cover those and we catch up on the Over 70s Cricket World Cup which at the time of recording had seen the first three rounds of matches played with England top of the table with three wins from three.
