Sir Tim Rice loves cricket, so much so that back in the early 70s he set up his own side – Heartaches CC – which is still going strong today. In the second week of September for over the 40th time the Heartaches came down to Cornwall to play three matches.

I was lucky enough to play for the Heartaches against Falmouth on the Thursday and then against them for my long-standing club side Mullion on the Friday.

During the Friday match I caught up with Tim and he talked about his love of cricket, how he got started playing cricket, and how he sees cricket moving forward.

We have several guests lined up for the months ahead. If you have an idea for someone who would make a great guest please do let us know via podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk

This week it's been what has become an annual end to the O60s cricket season with the Tri-Nations tournament featuring six matches in three days with all four competing sides playing against each other.

So we look at what happened between England and the England Lions, Scotland and Wales and then the final match to beat the weather which was England Lions versus Scotland

You can find the scorecards here:

England v England Lions

Scotland v Wales

Six of the eight O60s finals finally got the go ahead from the weather and all finished on Tuesday Sept 9th

We cover them all

Along with the two O70s finals that were played on Thursday Sept 4th. Unfortunately the O70s Cup final between Oxfordshire and Kent on Thursday Sept 11th was abandoned so the trophy is shared

And what about our prediction competition?

Grant and Trevor each predicted a winner for all 11 O60s and O70s finals - so who won? Did Trevor retain the trophy or did Grant make it 1-1 in the series?

It was a tight one that finished 6-5 - tune in to find out who won
