1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Cheering on our Mid Canterbury Hawk Cup team final round

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: and it's a local derby against South Canterbury holding the

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: oval starting tomorrow. Last time we caught up with Mark

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: medley Cott, we were top of the table, but we've

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: heard a couple of rough runs. So if we do

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: pull off top points this weekend, there is the chance

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: to lock in third place in the competition. So that's

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: on the go. We mentioned the T twenty World Cup

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: where our black Caps are into the Super eight against

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Pakistan Sunday morning. Turned out that's not the only international

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: cricket on the go exctually. In fact, there's the chance

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: to catch something right here in Ashburton on Sunday. Mark

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,480

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: More so this year the World Cup for over seventies

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: is being held in christ Church. I want to put

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: on a show. It's the first time it's not really

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: overseas in England or somewhere else, and came to us

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: oh quite a while back because I really like Ashbert.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: Noble's a lovely setting and everything else. And so we've

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: got two games there this week. We've got Canada playing

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: England and then the following Sunday, New Zealand play England

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: at Ashburtain over all, So yeah, it's pretty cool. They

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: come with quite a big crew, Like obviously that age,

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: the men can't get away without bringing the wives as well.

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: You've got to bring management. Someone's going to.

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think we've got well, we're catering

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: for it as well. But I think there's about fifty

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: in the group for the game and this weekend and

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: sixty odds the group the following Sundays. Yeah, there's plenty

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: of coming with them. It's an interesting The veterans part

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: of the cricket game is growing hugely at the moment.

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: I see that. I think it's just people getting back

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: to back to the game and those that are fit

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: enough for having to go. And yeah, it's like the

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: World Cup over fifties is on at the moment in

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: christ which as well, which is truly that it's the

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: growth area almost of the sport of all these people

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: as much they like to play the cricket, but they

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: get to catch up and meet old friends and new friends.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,960

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: team where it's not who can afford to go, but

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: actually that these players because I think going to England

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: was about twenty five thousand the head last year.

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,200

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: games from memory that have been their way back. You know,

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,560

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,840

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200
