Former coach Dermot Reeve marries in Somerset

Channel Four cricket presenter Dermot Reeve was married to Fiona Parkes at Hornsbury Mill, near Chard at the end of last week.

Dermot enjoyed a highly successful cricketing career and played in 3 Test Matches and 29 One Day Internationals for England. He also led Warwickshire during their record breaking run in the 1990's before joining Somerset as First team coach in 1997.

He may have left Somerset during the 2000 season to enable him to further develop his media work, but many agree that the successes of the current team are a legacy of the time that he spent at the club.

The couple met through cricket just over a year ago, whilst Fiona who hails from Sydney in Australia was working for a cricket hosting company.

The wedding at Hornsbury Mill was a private function with several of the brides family making the journey from Australia to be present at the occasion.

The couple hosted a reception at their house in North Curry in Somerset last night that was attended by a large number of their friends and sporting colleagues.

The couple have no plans to go away in the immediate future. Dermot told me: "The rest of my life will be my honeymoon."
