Thanks for all of your uploads, Paul.

Today's teenage 20:20 enthusiasts would be astounded that 160 could be a winning score in 40 over game back in 1989!

Plus Pringle was superb on the county scene as a bowler

[@chrismanners9091]

It was very late in the season, but yeah, winning scores in one day cricket could be incredibly low.

Do you have any matches from other years of the Refuge Assurance Cup? I don't remember this tournament at all!

Is it David Actfield on co comms?

[@garfield4108]

Yes that's David Acfield. I always reckoned he was pretty good in his short stint commentating

Eddie Hemmings wearing his MCC touring cap!

[@peternagy-im4be]

Mark Waugh!!! Good god almighty.

Some great old faces in this, but this competition always felt like an afterthought, going on too far into September. Poor old Geoff Miller colliding with the fence trying to take a catch. Before health and safety was invented, evidently. I'm sure I watched it, mind.

[@stephendines1936]

Essex has some talwarts from other counties in the side, John Childs ( ex Gloucester) , Geoff Miller ( ex Derby ) , Mike Garnham ( ex Leicester)

[@peternagy-im4be]

For stalwart read knarled old pro after a final pay check.

Shame that Ralph Dellor decided to put a bucket on his head during the last over.

[@garfield4108]

Lol !

Refuge Assurance Cup? 🤔

[@paulp9557]

It was played for about 4 seasons. The top 4 teams in the Sunday League played semis and a Final.
