Matt Allin
The Club is sad to report Matt Allin passed away last Thursday morning, 28th November. His parents Tony and Bev were by his side at the time. All our love and condolences go out to them and the family.
Matt was an opening bat and fearless keeper who came up through our Juniors section and went on to play for Devon against Andrew Flintoff's Lancashire in what was then called the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy.
A record run scorer for the club, and a larger than life character both on and off the field.
Matt's funeral is at Woolsery Church on Tuesday December 17th at 1pm. RIP Matty Allin.

New Chair for 2024
|
At the AGM, Kevin Fishleigh was voted in for his second stint as Club Chair. Kevin takes over from Rod Hannam, whose stirling efforts during seven years at the helm were duly noted and much appreciated.
Kevin said, "It's a great honour to be Chair again. Rod is a tough act to follow, but I'm looking forward to the new season, and with the support of the Committee, the challenges that we as a club will no doubt face over the coming months and years." |
