Somerset Chief Executive Peter Anderson has paid tribute to the hundreds of fans who had wished Somerset well before the Lord's final last weekend and those who have sent their coingratulations since the victory.

Talking at The County Ground this afternoon he told me, "I would like to send a personal message to all of the hundreds of people who have made contact with the club by e mail, by letter or by telephone before and since the final. We have been overwhelmed by the response of the public to our Cheltenham and Gloucester victory. There are far too many to thank individually but I want everyone to know how much their good wishes have been appreciated by us all at the club, and in particular the players themselves."

A film has been shot to record the historic day at Lord's and details of how this can be obtained will be announced by the club in the near future.
