If you stood in your garden for 2 hours, you'd switch off! (ft. Cobus Pienaar) Part 2
This week's episode (Part 2 of 2) is focused on the 2014 Championship winning year, in which the team went on a 19 match unbeaten run to secure the league title. Despite winning the league, they ultimately came up short in the Worsley Cup and in T20. Joe Martin (Current wicketkeeper) is joined by Paddy Martin (current 1st Team all-rounder), Chris Bleazard (Legendary Batsman) and the pro for 2014, Cobus Pienaar. We even have the much anticipated return of Stan's Stories, where he discusses a Lowerhouse legend's signature move! They talk through the trials and tribulations of that year, including the unbeaten run and a notable players' fall into Lake Windermere!
