Somerset County Cricket Club in 1979
Somerset County Cricket Club competed in four competitions in the 1979 season: the first-class County Championship; and three limited overs competitions — the Gillette Cup, the John Player League and the Benson & Hedges Cup. The county fared well in the limited-overs competitions, winning both the Gillette Cup and the John Player League (the first two trophies ever won by the club), but were ejected from the Benson & Hedges Cup when the TCCB ruled they had brought the game into disrepute after a declaration during a match against Worcestershire.
