Webb’s World Dan Webb recalls the recent Northamptonshire County Cup, and a less than profitable trip to Ireland… Well, there it is… 12 months have passed since I started writing these, er, chronicles. Yes, chronicles, I like that! Much has changed in that time, although I am a little disappointed that my two-page spread has now dropped to only one page and hasn’t in fact taken over at least 12 pages. To try and remedy this, I’ve sent Tom 300 photos from my recent trip to Ireland, so he has no excuse for short changing me again! I’m sure at least one of them will be good enough for a cover shot. I may not be an Andy Geldart, but if Des Shipp is handsome enough to get on the cover then I’m sure I am! Anyway, as I’m writing this I’ve just competed in the nationally prized and prestigious Northamptonshire County cup.
