this cricket club was my life and my soul. My great grandad played cricket here, and so did my grandad. My great grandad is Jim Moulton. He looked after the club for over 50 years. It was his life, he was devoted to this club, and we were in tears when the place was shut down. His ashes were spread on the field, and the downstairs area was name “the jim moulton lounge” after him. We have the plaque with us now. It was sad to see it go. The place was never the same after he died.
My Gran (derry fletcher) and grandad (denis fletcher) joined the commitee and tried to get it back to its old self, and there were some really successful nights. I grew up here, and it hurts that its gone. WHen i’m upset, you’ll often find me in the field trying to calm myself down…
if anyone knows my family, get in touch, it would be nice to hear from some of the lads and lasses that used to go every saturday and friday night, religiously.
