LOUGHBOROUGH Town cricketer Martyn Gidley has led the England's over-50s cricket team to two victories as captain in an international tournament.

Gidley leads England to Marlborough Cup glory

Gidley, a PE teacher at Loughborough Grammar School, captained his country in the Marlborough Cup Quadrangular Tournament taking place at Marlborough College in Wiltshire last week.

The tournament featured over-50s sides from England, Wales, India and the USA, playing 45-over fixtures over three consecutive days.

Gidley reflected on how the games unfolded.

"Against the USA, I won the toss and elected to bat and England won by 50 runs in a game reduced to 40 overs due to some rain.
