Richard Walsh - 3 October 2001

The celebrations in the wake of their Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy victory continue for Somerset County Cricket Club when the players parade the cup before the start of the Heineken Cup match between Bath and Swansea at The Rec on Saturday afternoon.

The players visit to Bath gets underway at 11a.m. with a civic reception at The Guildhall where they will meet the mayor and other dignitaries from the noble city.

They then move onto Bath Rugby Club where they will be entertained for lunch at 1pm. before receiving what will no doubt be a heroes welcome from the large crowd when the parade the cup before the start of the match.

The Somerset players have already attended a reception held in their honour by the Mayor of Taunton Deane, been treated to a luncheon held in their honour by Somerset County Council at Mount Somerset Hotel at Henlade near Taunton, enjoyed a full house presentation dinner at The County Ground and also paraded the cup at Ashton Gate, the home of Bristol City.

The celebrations after the 18 year wait for a trophy just seem to go on and on!
