Lots of Happy Snappers down Bournemouth way. Here’s one from Stephen Hope who says:
“Dave, many thanks for the recent posts on this. If interest has not been exhausted, a snap looking towards the ‘town end’, taken during the 1978 cricket week in a game v Warwks, Dennis Amiss in a helmet, the first time I’d seen a player in one. Bright seaside light, the college clock chiming on the hour and a ground enclosed by back gardens, it felt rather like you were watching in one. Happy Days!”
The bowler is Keith Stevenson and I’d recognise those bums anywhere(!!): L-R Bob Stephenson, John Rice & Gordon Greenidge
Warwicks 286 & 222-9 dec beat Hants 207 & 264 by 37 runs. Greenidge batted four in the first innings but opened and scored 112 in the second. Hampshire lost from 185-1 losing nine wickets for 79 (Perryman 7-49, his career BB).
One that got away, but three centuries from Gordon Greenidge that cricket week and one from Trevor Jesty saw Kent beaten in the second game. A few days later another from GG in a game against Middx and Sunday League winners that year.
