019 - Holland (a) & EPL Preview Ft. @amgbrock
HALFWAY UP MIDDLE - 019 - Holland (a) & EPL Preview Ft. Andrew Brock Liam & Hoggy catch up with EPL stalwart Andrew Brock to have a look at how the Eastern Premier League is looking for the season ahead. Brocky captained Grange to League & Grand Final success in 2015 (Bottled a Treble, losing to Arbroath in the Scottish Cup Final), sandwiched between National T20 Cup wins in 2014 & 2016, so is well placed to give his thoughts on the league. We have a look at predictions for the first round of fixtures and what players to look out for this season. We then have a look at the Scotland Games happening over in Holland this week and how we see those fixtures going.

018 - The Blueprint Ft. Eddie Gibbs
HALFWAY UP MIDDLE - 018 - The Blueprint Ft. Eddie Gibbs Liam and Hoggy chat with the successful former Chairman of Glenrothes CC, Eddie Gibbs. The lads cover how Eddie and Glenrothes CC got from the ESCA lower leagues and into the EPL and why that wasn't part of the plan. From being labelled as the Roman Abramovich of Scottish Cricket to consistently getting 6 XIs out over a weekend, Eddie has some great points on how clubs can do things a little differently this summer. We get into Sreesanth NOT coming over, how he got lucky finding a former Scotland World Cup wicket keeper at a Raith Rovers match and why he put the Glenrothes Pro and Amateur in a caravan for 6 months.
