Infobox

Consider adding an Image of Lord's as you have done in your other GA's of this final

Lede

Saw this from the 1979 Gillete Cup Final GA: consider changing "which had been the first domestic tournament to pit first-class cricket sides against each other in a knock-out competition" to the first English domestic knock-out competition between first-class sides

Background

"If Kent won, it would their first competition win since the 1928 County Championship" - change win to victory to avoid reptition

Route to the final

Be consistent in how you present scores, as in the first score for Kent, you use 239 for eight, while the rest bar one are written as "251 for 9" for example.
Perhaps inclement weather would be a better substitute for bad weather

Summary

Remove the wikilinks to Colin Cowdrey, John Shepherd, Alan Dixon, Alan Brown, Derek Underwood, Roy Virgin, Graham Burgess and Mervyn Kitchen as they are already link in the previous section
"who scored 21 and 17 respectively before both were run out" - a comma is needed at the end of this piece of text
"Alley, identified as a key player for Somerset before the match," - identified by whom?

Aftermath

Explain who Bill Edrich was

References

The publisher of the first reference should be in the work field
References two and three are requiring the subscription required like in the 13th and 14th references.

A good effort has been put into writing this article so far. I shall put this review on hold for the time being.

@Harrias: That is everything sorted. Nothing left to do but promote this article to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 09:42, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
