In this episode Clark McConnachie, captain of Scotland Seniors O60s, reflects on a first year as Scotland Seniors and members of the IMC and looks ahead to Scotland playing in the O60s World Cup for the first time in August 2026 in Toronto.

Not only have they re-branded - previously all their matches were under the banner of the Forty Club - but earlier in the year Scotland Seniors became the 15th country to join the International Masters Cricket organisation. Scotland Seniors covers all ‘Masters’ ages groups under one roof - O40s, O50s, O60s and at some point going forward O70s.

The Scotland O60s played pre-season matches in April against Lancashire, Yorkshire and Durham/Northumberland. This was followed with matches in May against England and the England Lions and then a memorable full international against Australia at Stirling with final international matches in the Tri-Nations against Wales, England Lions and England - although the latter was cancelled due to adverse weather.

On a recent episode (87) we had the amazing Ron Hedley talking about his fantastic cricket tour to the Vatican and the incredible fundraising for prostate cancer awareness which has raised almost £80,000.

Friend of the show and Australia O60s top player Tony Panecasio - TP - joins us on this episode to share and discuss what happened at the 'Nationals' for both Australia 060s and O65s, the latter which was held in Christchurch, New Zealand.

TP was excited for the O60s tournament skippering his state New South Wales for the first time but unfortunately ripped his hamstring 3 balls in!

TP gives us insights in both tournaments.

We also touch upon the Silver Ashes between Australia and England taking place at the beginning of February and the O70s World Cup also in Christchurch, New Zealand starting on February 17th.

This is our Ashes special as it's going out a couple of days before the Ashes series between Australia and England starts in Perth.

We are joined by Australia Grey Ashes cricketer Alan 'Muggo' Muggleton. We were hoping that former Australian fast bowler Len Pascoe would also be joining this episode – but unfortunately at the last minute Len couldn't make the recording due to troubles with the Internet connection from where he was holidaying.

We talk about the Grey Ashes, the Ashes series coming up and Muggo gives us a lowdown on the Australia O60s nationals which have just finished in Wollongong.
