Oldswinford Cricket Club book review
‘A History of Cricket in Oldswinford’ is a new book on cricket that has been published recently.
Ken Slater’s book focuses on the little-known early years of Oldswinford St Mary’s Cricket Club, Stourbridge, located then in Worcestershire.
The author, in his capacity of secretary of the present-day Oldswinford CC (OCC), has spent much of the past two years scrolling through countless spools of microfiched match reports that have appeared in the local press since Victorian times.
