The most emotional presentation of the
evening was Keith Williams (L) receiving a piece of glassware depicting the
London Rd ground from Chairman, Brian Funnell in recognition of his forty years
service to the club. Keith spent twenty four years as a 1st X1 fast bowler. He then turned himself into an off spinner and enjoyed many more
years of success, even regaining his 1st X1 slot for a brief Indian
Summer. He is currently studying to qualify as an umpire.
