The annual Mountfield Village v Cricket club game for 2024 will take place on Sunday 1st September at the Cricket Ground, however this year not only will it be an opportunity to watch the local cricketing talent, but we will also be celebrating the life of one of Mountfield Cricket Clubs founding fathers, Tubby Morris who sadly passed away in October 2023.
Tubby was a legend at Mountfield CC and enjoyed a sterling career as a player, captain of the team, Chairman and Groundsman to note in addition to helping build the original Pavilion in 1961 and a frame for marking out the crease which is still in use to this very day. It was a pleasure to welcome Tubby to last year’s Jubilee game where he was able to watch the keenly contested game.
Tubby is fondly remembered by all of his family and friends at the Mountfield CC, and as part of the day his family are planning to dedicate a bench in his memory at the cricket ground
We look forward to seeing you all at the game which will have a 1.30pm start, and if anyone would like to play then please contact me on [email protected]
