O60s 1st XI
2024 Summary
The team finished 4th in the South West group with 3 wins from 7 matches played - all 3 wins coming away from home includimg beating Wales in Wales - the only match Wales lost in the group stages.
That qualified the team for the Phase 2 Vase competition. Middlesex and Bedfordshire both conceded their trips to Cornwall. Of the remaining six matches the team won one - beating Hertfordshire, who were last year's Cup runners up, at Truro - a match in which Stuart Adams scored the team's only century of the season.
The team played 13 matches - the most of all Cornwall senior teams in 2024 - eight of which were away - it was calculated that using Truro as a starting point the team covered almost 3700 miles for those away matches. The first three home group matches were cancelled due to the weather and two counties conceded trips to Cornwall in phase 2.
Co-Captains Hugh Rogers and Anton Luiten played in all 13 matches. Bob Fleming played 12, Adam Widdison, Paul Przybylski-Garry and Andy Myers featured 11 times with Mike Rodwell, Kevin Gibbard and John Dobson playing nine times. 21 players played at least one match.

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
