Over the Boundary & Under the Covers: A season of cricket, chaos, committee, characters and comical events at a northern cricket club...

It's 1978 and ex player Reg Birtles is the chairman of a northern cricket league club. After years of glory the club is in the dumps. Reg decides that through his boisterous leadership the club will be put firmly back at the top of the tree. This involves some unpopular, undemocratic, unethical and risky decisions and functions resulting in some comical outcomes. Along the way we meet a succession of funny characters that we all become familiar with and can relate to as the story develops. Plus, a slow burner of a love affair bringing tension and a twist in the tale to the events. This is northern humour. Anybody who’s been involved in sport at grass roots level will recognise and relate to characters and situations in Over the Boundary and Under the Covers
