ONE of Somerset CCC’s biggest fans has written a song ahead of the team’s Royal London One Day Cup quarter-final this Tuesday, June 13.

The family of Charles Clive Ponsonby-Fane will be known to cricket historians, as his great-grandfather Sir Spencer Ponsonby-Fane helped found I-Zingari.

Sir Spencer also laid the foundation stone of the Pavilion at Lord’s, and was the first ever president of Somerset CCC from 1891 to 1915.

Somerset County Gazette:

SONGWRITER: Charles Clive Ponsonby-Fane​.

Now his great-grandson has penned Go Somerset – The Song for Somerset County Cricket Club to help Somerset in this year’s 50-over cup.

He said: “Suddenly when I was driving along the tune came to me, and it was so catchy I had to go straight home and write it down.”

What do you think of the song? Could it catch on at the County Ground? Let us know in the comments below.
