About Me

My name is Stephen Hedges.  I was born in Swansea in 1964 but left Wales in 1972.  As a Welsh exile, I have always held a rather rosy view of my homeland.  It is a view, despite much evidence to the contrary, that remains.  Everything about Wales I see through daffodil- tinted glasses.

 

In 2014 I walked around the whole of Wales, a walk of over 1,000 miles during which I climbed more than four times the height of Everest.  The Boundary of Wales walk raised nearly £4,000 for junior cricket in Wales.

​

Since then I have written the biography of my father, Glamorgan cricketer Bernard Hedges, titled 'The Player from Ponty'.  I am currently researching and writing the history of Glamorgan C.C.C. from 1958 to 1977 for an M.A. in history based at Swansea University.

​

I enjoy writing about cricket, it's history and it's players in particular. I would love to write about Welsh sport and the place sport plays in all our lives in general; from the elite professionals to the recreational amateurs, from the players to the spectators, from the young to the old.
