Dear Club Member

On Bank Holiday Monday 28 May we shall be holding a memorial day at the club to honour and celebrate the life of our late and greatly missed club captain, Phil Alexander.

The aim is to make the day a typical ‘Phil day’, so there will be plenty of competitive and social cricket involved, coupled with some splendid food and lots of beer and Prosecco.

The day will commence with bacon rolls and coffee from 9 a.m., just as Phil would have wanted it.

There will be two games of cricket during the day. The first game, which will commence at 10 a.m., will be a competitive 40-over match between an Outwood First XI and the Falcons, for whom Phil also spent many happy years playing cricket.

Between the innings, at about 12.30, there will be a paying bbq lunch, and after the reverse innings finishes at about 4 p.m. there will be a ceremony to dedicate ‘The Alexander Gate’ in Phil’s memory. A cricket tea, free to all, will then follow and you can expect loads of cakes!

The second game will be a T20 which will commence at about 4.45, and will be open to anyone of any standard wishing to play. A number of Phil’s family and friends from Lingfield and other local clubs will be joining Outwood members in this game, and we will endeavour to make sure that anybody playing will at least have a bat or a bowl.

If you wish to play in the T20 game would you please update the availability on the website by going to ‘Schedule’, Monday 28 May, All-Comers XI . Should we have more than 22 players we will work around that, so don’t hold back!

Once the T20 game is over the bar will remain open for the rest of the evening.

Finally, Phil’s family and Wendy have kindly suggested that all profits from the day be channelled to a fund to be run in Phil’s memory that will be used to coach young cricketers at Outwood.
