Richard played for the club in the late sixties. I am indebted to Simon who tells me he played 107 innings ,scored 1802 runs with a highest score of 88. I remember that innings well for it was our first match in the County League against Allestree at their unique ground and Richard played some magnificent off drives in his innings and we managed to win the game. When he left the club to work in London he played his cricket in the Middlesex and Surrey League
Following a lengthy sojourn in France he returned to UK and has settled in Dorset. His extended family include two sons and grandchildren who are all mad keen on cricket so he has clearly passed on his cricket genes.
He was very complimentary about the club and asked to be remembered to those with long memories.
