The baby boom at the County Ground goes on, with the announcement that Peter Bowler and his wife Joanne are celebrating the birth of their third child, Matthew William who commenced his innings yesterday.

Matthew will be a new brother for Robert who is nine and Rebekah who is seven.

Both mother and baby are doing so congratulations to Peter and Joanne on producing another potential opening batsman for the county. Well done!

Following hot on the heels of Keith and Sharon Parsons baby son last month, Matthew's birth brings the number of recent or expected arrivals amongst the playing staff to fourteen.

There are now seven new arrivals, two babies expected in the next few months and five toddlers.

Is this a new Somerset County Cricket Club record?
