Notts To Play at Neath

 


NOTTS HEAD TO NEATH IN 2024

Notts head to Neath for their Metro Bank One Day game on 31st July 2024. There have been 43 first-class and 15 List A games on the Gnoll. 

It will Notts' first-ever competitive game at the venue. Sussex and Durham are the only other first-class counties to have never played at the venue. Durham should have played a Metro Bank game there on the 8th August this year but the game was unfortunately abandoned without a ball bowled. 

Notts Seconds did play a Second Eleven Championship game there in May 1984. The match ended in a rain affected draw. Glamorgan 152-7d & 79-2d. Notts forfeited their first innings and needing 232 to win ended on 158-9 off 53 overs. 

The Notts team 39 years ago was Mick Newell, Brett Henschell, Paul Johnson, Duncan Martindale, Chris Scott, Kevin Evans, Andy Pick, David Fraser-Darling, Mike Bore, Mike Hendrick and Andy Afford. Australian all-rounder Henschell was over on a scholarship. 

Brett Henschell

In his career he played 66 first-class and 17 List A games for Queensland between 1981/82 and 1990/91. He appeared in 10 Second Eleven Championship games for Notts in 1984 scoring 490 runs @30.62 and taking three wickets @36.66. MAG

  1. That 2s team is a little stronger than the ones put out in SEC matches this season it’s fair to say
