Suffolk cricket had an unlikely celebrity fan watching on as they battled Hertfordshire in the Minor Counties Championship yesterday – pop star Olly Murs.
Murs, from Witham, is more well known as a football fan and player – he’s on the books of Coggeshall Town, has also played for Witham and is known to be a huge Manchester United fan.
Of course, he recently wowed crowds at Colchester United’s Weston Homes Stadium too.
Yesterday, X Factor star Murs watched on at Copdock as Eastern Division table-toppers Suffolk hosted Hertfordshire on day one of three in the Unicorns Championship clash.
And he saw a fairly even day, with Hertfordshire impressing on the way to 328 for 9.
Tom Rash took three wickets, while Hugo Douglas claimed two. Suffolk finished on 42-1 in reply.
