SOMERSET recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first ever trophy, the 1979 Gillette Cup.
The victory over Northamptonshire at Lord's was the start of a memorable weekend, as the following day Somerset travelled to Trent Bridge and won the John Player League title.
The captain who lifted both trophies was Brian Rose and, to mark the 40th anniversary of this triumph, we have two signed copies of his excellent autobiography, ‘Rosey: My Life in Somerset Cricket’ , to give away.
The book is a must-read for Somerset fans and covers Rose's early days in the team, the glory years and his successful tenure as director of cricket.
To enter, answer the following question:
Who did Somerset beat in the 1979 Gillette Cup final at Lord’s?
Send your answer to paul.martin@countygazette.co.uk (with the subject header ‘Rosey competition’) or post your answer to ‘Rosey Competition’, County Gazette, Tangier 2, Tangier Central, TA1 4AS.
The closing date is 5pm on Friday, September 20 - usual Newsquest terms and conditions apply.
