Hungerford Arcade: Australian Over 60s Cricket Tour

Ron, Adrian and Jennifer
People come from all over the world to visit us at the
Arcade and there is rarely a week that goes by without meeting someone new from Australia.
Ron
Axelby and his wife Jennifer are here from Down Under for an over 60s cricketing
tour.  Ron is part of a 16 man squad
here to play 17 matches over the next 5 weeks, travelling all over the country
as far north as Lancashire. 

A sporting legend in his own right (well, Jennifer is a big fan)
Ron was skipper of the first Aussie over 60s cricket team to tour in the UK.  They toured here in 2011 and after playing a series of very closely contested matches, unfortunately
missed out on the overall win to a very convincing England performance. 

It’s a laid back tour this time around, taking in the
sights and giving the WAGs opportunity to spend plenty of time (and money)
shopping for interesting antiques while the Aussie lads do their best to give
our boys a good walloping!

Best of luck
to all the teams involved and have a great trip home Ron, Jennifer and everyone
else!
