Come along to support this celebration of Dick's life

The Annual celebration of the life of Dick Roberts, our long serving Colts Section Manager, who was taken from us far too soon, takes place on Sunday 18th August at the Nevill Sports Ground.

There will be junior matches in the morning and then a Dick Roberts XI, chosen largely from ex-colts that were coached by Dick, will take on a Presidents XI, selected by our President Chris Pearson, in a T20 match starting at 14:00.

This is a great opportunity for some of those players that have drifted away from the club & cricket for many different reasons, to come together to honour a man that single-handedly ran our junior section for many years and is fondly remembered & revered by all those that he coached.

We would also like to extend a special invite to all of our generous sponsors to join us for the afternoon and enjoy drinks and refreshments on us. Sponsors will shortly be receiving an invitation via email.

Many thanks to John Pratt & Joe Nichols for again organising this event, which coincides with the celebration of their 'joint 90th birthday' !

Look forward to seeing you all on the 18th.
