***Gloucestershire County Cricket Club Panel 05 Mar 2025***
Cheltenham Cricket Society warmly welcomed GCCC’s Mark Alleyne (Head Coach), Peter Matthews (Club Chairman), and Jack Taylor (T20 Captain) and the 2025 Vitality Blast T20 Trophy. Ian Randall chaired the initial panel discussion where we were provided with thoroughly entertaining insights on the successful GCCC T20 journey, the future plans for GCCC and the perennial issue of managing and scheduling fixtures in a very busy cricketing calendar.
