He was a champion in every sense of the world & I’m going to miss my biggest supporter, my inspiration & my friend.

A summer of 7 weddings & 3 stags threatened to disrupt my🏏but managed to play @ClubLynton last Fri eve before groomsman duties, then tonight, day1 of a stag do near Bath managed to make the most of having kit in the car & net @BoxCricketClub cheers, lovely club!
I’ve had a wonderful afternoon playing my first match in 25 years and my first for @ClubLynton against @Erraticscc at this beautiful ground, and met the lovely @AnnieChave, too. The perfect way to spend a summer’s day.
Aha cheers all, thoroughly enjoyed my game down the valley Friday night, some cracking entertainment for the strong wedding party filled crowd on wed eve.
Couple catches celebrated wildly & a perfectly spirited game from both sides!

I definitely think St. James’, Taunton is going to have to feature in a piece sooner or later. It’s a beautiful building and what a wonderful setting, too.
