Rob makes himself useful, and Johnny stands by Tom.

Johnny and Tom decide to go to the Single Wicket competition. Kenton is pleased to see them, he thought they weren't coming. Rob arrives to commentate on the competition. He tells Tom not to speak to Henry as today is not a Sunday and therefore not a day Tom's family has been granted time with Henry. Tom has a go at Kenton for agreeing to Rob being the commentator. Kenton tells Tom he has got to realise some people see Rob as a hero. Johnny says they can leave but Tom is determined to stay.

Before heading to the Single Wicket completion, Josh and Pip prepare pens for Open Farm Sunday. Tom has confirmed with Pip that he can bring over an Angus cow and calf to be part of the day at Brookfield. Pip beats Rex in the first round of the Single Wicket competition. Rob's remarks over the PA system on Pip's performance annoy Tom further.

Johnny becomes the Single Wicket winner after facing Tom in the final. Before inviting Johnny to accept the trophy, Rob takes the opportunity to say how kind everyone has been since he was injured and he's grateful for the warm support of the Ambridge community. Johnny surprises the crowd when he goes up to collect the trophy by not shaking Rob's hand. He takes the microphone to thank his family at Bridge Farm and he invites Tom to join him to share the trophy with him.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
