Behind The Scene's of Colson's Cricket Club! | Women's Cricket and England Test Match Drama

We're live from Castleford Cricket Club with special guest Colson Smith and this one's got everything. Colson joined the committee at 15 years old, just in time to watch the club nearly fold. From relegation to a five-year rescue plan scribbled on the back of a Nando's menu, this is the story of how a local club rebuilt itself around three simple words: Cricket, Club, Community. It gets properly chaotic too, the council literally filled in their tea-room serving hatch mid-renovation, they're spending £385 just to host a home game, and somehow, out of all that, a women's team was born. Then we're into the professional game: the Lord's pitch disaster, England v NZ fallout, Ben Stokes' big night out and what Joe Root back as captain actually means. The Clean Take Podcast, honest cricket chat, served straight up. New episodes every week. 🏏
