About Cider Press

Cider Press is a place of solace for all Somerset fans. Co-hosts Charlie Taylor and Sam Dalling have joined forces to review, preview and just generally natter about all of the men’s 1st XI action, as well as keeping listeners up-to-date on the Western Storm. They will be joined over the summer by a series of guest hosts, while there will also be regular interviews with both current players and past heroes.

Charlie and Sam became friends via their work on Somerset’s in-house live stream.
