David Raines, a former Captain of Badsey Cricket Club has sent us these lovely slides of former players of the club, ranging from 1923-2008.
David first played while he was at school in the late 1960s. The club was very successful in his day and boasted many good players. It was later renamed as Badsey Recreation Club, in order to reflect the wider range of sporting activities then envisaged.
In May 2011, David was invited back to open the refurbished club and to celebrate 60 years since the club moved to Ballards Park.
Unfortunately the club is no longer running; the last matches were played in 2021.
