A year ago this week we sadly lost Nige Green; Club member, player, scorer and friend.
Our new scorers table bought in memory of The Green was fittingly a hive of activity today with 543 runs & 17 wickets.
Sorely missed, regularly quoted, always remembered.

Yesterday we said farewell and raised a glass to our friend Nigel.
He was a cricket 'nut' and always thought of others, so it is a fitting tribute that donations to The Lords Taverners in Nigels memory would be welcomed.
RIP Nige 🏏
Cheers guys, superb by your lads
Great to see a club thriving with on & off the field. If it wasn’t for the drive home our boys were ready to spend longer at the bar than they did at the crease:Pints on draught in the sun looking onto a fellow picturesque Shropshire ground🍺🌳🏫
