Lord's first female groundskeeper: Meg Lay

From Summer Weekends, 10:10 am today

Like many young people heading away on an OE, our next guest didn't have a clue what she wanted to do for a career.

Now Meg Lay is the first-ever female groundskeeper at the famous Lord's cricket ground in London.

Meg's currently back in New Zealand for the holidays and joins us from the Christchurch studio.
