Anton Luiten's 100th game for Cornwall O50s/60s
Anton's poem:
If a test match is not your quest and the Hundred is too frantic
Then look out to the far south west where the Channel meets the Atlantic
Here lives a band of warriors between the moorland and the sand
Worked by miners and quarriers and farmers on fertile land
Today we give up plough and axe and take up a sword of willow
Whose blade will smite bowlers attacks have them crying on their pillow
Take to the field of battle, then remember to proudly walk tall
Blaze a trail you Trelawney men, for Cornwall, one and all
