Congratulations to Sharon and Keith Parsons on the birth of their son Joseph Luke who weighed in at 8 lbs 4 ozs on October 17th.

I am happy to be able to report that all parties are making good progress and young Joseph made his first appearance in the sunshine at the County Ground in Taunton this morning.

After being introduced to everybody in the main office, Joseph made his way round to the Centre of Excellence where he caught a glimpse of Richard Johnson bowling in the nets, and met several of the coaching staff.

After meeting Joseph the Somerset boss Peter Anderson commented that he had large hands and predicted that he would become an all rounder, just like his dad!

Well done to Sharon and Keith from all Somerset supporters.
