Family fun and more to come…. On Sunday 9th July, the cricket ground was transformed into the setting for the annual Family Fun Day. The cricket and football clubs came together to deliver a fantastic event that was exactly what it set out to be, a fun day out for all the family. From the outset the day promised so much. The cricket ground was, as always, perfectly presented with not a blade of grass out of place, the sun shining, the barbeque lit and the bar well stocked. Kids rides, hook a duck, face painting, an ice cream van, beat the keeper and much more was on offer throughout the day to ensure that by the end of it everyone left with a smile on their face. The event also acts as an opportunity for the football club to hand out its end of season awards, with two individuals scooping the big prizes. Daniel Crick received well deserved recognition for being the club’s first ever player to complete 10 consecutive seasons, whilst he also walked away with the under 16’s Players’ Player and Coaches Player of the Year awards for good measure.
The loudest cheer of the afternoon, meanwhile, was reserved for Daniel’s coach for the last 10 seasons, Steve Tope. Steve has worked tirelessly for the club, many of which as Chairman, turning us into a thriving local village club, now with some 130 and growing regular players from 5 – 17 years old. To honour his commitment and effort for all these years, Steve was presented with the first ever ‘Club Legend’ award.
