A Year in the Life of Somerset County Cricket Club by Andy Nash

A Year in the Life of Somerset County Cricket Club by Andy Nash

Written from the unique point of view of the club chairman, A Year in the Life of Somerset County Cricket Club is the story of the highs and lows of county cricket. Somerset County Cricket Club was founded in 1875 and since then has provided its many members and supporters with countless memories. In recent years the Club has established itself as one of the leading clubs in England, closely competing for honours every season and developing many young players through its age-group and Academy system. The Club has simultaneously transformed its fortunes off the pitch, managing to redevelop the County Ground in Taunton without freighting itself with large debts. In October last year the ECB granted Somerset Provisional Category B status, meaning it can now progress towards hosting England ODIs and T20 fixtures, which will bring many benefits to the West Country. This book provides a captivating insight into the daily workings in and around the Club throughout 2012 as it meets numerous challenges and prepares future plans. All royalties from sales of this book have been kindly donated by the author to the Clowance charity that promotes youth cricket.

Andy Nash exited a large MBO via flotation in 1996 and subsequently decided to bring down the curtain on his executive career. Since then, as a portfolio chairman, he has looked after another dozen MBOs/MBIs and two PLCs. His main leisure interests are cricket, skiing and charity bike rides. Andy is married with four grown-up children and lives in Somerset.
