Get DiRT-y with MCV
SEAM AND NOT HEARD The annual industry GamesAid cricket match took place in Somerset against Pitney last week, with some trade luminaries dressing up in whites and taking balls to the, erm, balls in the name of charity. Team players from left to right, front row are: Gerry Tucker, Graeme Struthers, Sean Dromgoole, Andy Payne, Ian Livingstone (this year’s Captain). Left to right back row: Fred Hasson, Simon Jeffrey, Richard Nugent, Ciaran Brennan, Doron Garfunkel (plus Henry and Jonathan, a couple of nonindustry ringers).
