Pitchside Podcast – 1. The Dominance of Surrey CCC in the County Championship | Mark Church and Charlie Hodgson

On the first episode of Pitchside, Toby is joined by Mark Church, Surrey’s lead commentator, and Charlie Hodgson, a former player and Managing Director of Surrey, to discuss Surrey’s fall from grace in the early 2000s and return to the top of the County Championship.

Together they follow Surrey from the turn of the century, when they won three out of four County Championship, to the last few season, where they have won two titles on the bounce. This included years in the second division, before a revamp to the county’s philosophy in 2014 helped them back on track.
