Firle - the Cradle of Cricket

Michael Tweed, long associated with Firle Cricket Club, one of the ten oldest cricket clubs in the world, talks about the club's origins and in particular of games played in the 18th century between the teams of Sir William Gage of Firle and the Duke of Richmond of Goodwood. The two men were friends and the games between their teams helped to encourage the playing of cricket throughout Kent and Sussex.
