GRAYSHOTT Cricket Club marked the end of another season with a special day – for two reasons.
A club XI played a 60-over match against a Peter Clapham XI led by Gary Clapham in memory of Peter Clapham, who was a true legend at the club and servant to the game.
It was the second memorial game, but this year the occasion had some VIPs, with several of the 1969 double-winning cup side present, recalling their achievements from 50 years ago, when the side won the I’Anson Cup and Stevens Cup, led by Geoff Tribe and Harry (Spud) Murphy.
Organised by club president Phil Coleshill, each player was presented with a photograph and a club tie.
On behalf of the 1969 side, Spud Murphy recalled some fond memories, none more so than of Peter Clapham who was a part of that double-winning side.
The game, which was played in great spirit, was won for the second year by the club XI, with everyone enjoying the infamous ‘Grayshott Tea’, with the club’s ladies laying on an excellent spread.
The man of the match award went to Peter Dickenson who put on an excellent bowling display to go with a half century with the bat.
