Seniors Cricket - Players Survey |
|
Around 20 people attended the DCSCC annual golf day and dinner at Stover Golf Club last week, with 16 players of varying abilities taking to the course on what was a fine day. Luckily storm Amy stayed away, so with good weather some fun golf took place, plenty of humorous conversation, cricket talk, and the inevitable frustrations that Golf produces. Fulll report below:

Dave Gambie Memorial
Dave Gambie
Dave Gambie Memorial Day
The day went well and Devon Seniors were well represented by a good number of players past and present who had had the pleasure of knowing and playing with Dave.
There was a stimulating array of photographs of teams featuring Dave which evoked endless speculation at to who where and when they had been taken. Some of the earliest were beyond even the combined memories of those present - Dave with a beard and brown curly hair! Also a large collection of trophies and memorabilia accumulated over the years, including a bat.
Paul Berman spoke about Dave's more recent involvement with the Club as Chairman and President and Chris Theedom reflected on the Club's early stages and the historic win for the 50s in the National Competition in 2002.
Dave's involvement with walking football had culminated in a posthumous award by the National Association and his playing and umpiring days at Topsham St James were well-described by their Chairman.

Tom Stanton:
First of all, I think I can say that Dave Gambie would have been proud and pleased with us, and would have loved to be there.
I want to thank not just the players on the day, but also all those who played throughout the season. Everyone is needed, and all contribute in one way or another. Everyone was helpful and understanding.
Special thanks to our Sponsors :-

Ian Western
And to -
Umpires: Alex Pickersgill; Mike Canning; Ian Hayter; Ian Western; Dave Hawke
Scorers: Jan Ashworth; Kath Baxter ; Fran Pyle; Mike Tracey
Behind the scenes: Andy (“the Vicar” aka Rachel-from- accounts) for collecting match fees and his good lady for doing my laundry. Also providing occasional phone counselling. Paul (“Trotsky”) for doing loads of general admin stuff - putting results on web, dealing with over 70's committee and acting as sounding board.
Alastair who was a very able deputy and always a great help both on and off the field.
Thanks to the clubs who hosted us: Seaton; Hatherleigh; North Devon; Sampford Peverell; Shobrooke; Torquay
Sincere apologies if I've missed anyone, but I've probably gone on too long, Tom.
