  The Cyril Gray 2023 (Tuesday 20th June -  Friday 23rd June)
          Our Cyril Gray (over 50s) campaign this year was as enjoyable as  ever, but unfortunately unsuccessful. We were well beaten 3/0 by Canford in the  first round (their team including one off +1.5 and one off 1).  We were  fortunate in that we didn’t have to play in the Plate in the afternoon, Wrekin  being unable to raise a team. On Thursday, in the quarter-final of the Plate,  we lost to the eventual winners, Merchant Taylors’ 2 ½ to ½.
            
          Rossall, were once again this year’s winners of The Cyril Gray – no  doubt with coaching from Stuart Hemmings! 
          
          The pre-tournament dinner is now firmly established and provides a  wonderful opportunity to bump into friends old and new (if you could only  remember their names) – with St Bees established as the best dressed team. 
          
          We are now ‘calling all 50 year olds’ to reinforce our team and start a  new era.
