Bramshaw stalwart Ken Webb sadly passed away earlier in September at the age of 79. He was previously a vice president of the New Forest club and played for many years from the early 1970s through to 1990s.
He took up many roles during his time, including groundsman, secretary, club captain, colts coach and umpire for the first team before going onto officiate in the Southern League. He was Bramshaw secretary for many years, creating the club's centenary handbook along with John Loose in 1977 and seeing through the extension of the current pavilion in 1986. He will always be remembered for forming and coaching the first junior cricket team in 1984 for getting the second team running in the late 1980s.
Kev loved his cricket, bowling his slow spinners, always convinced he was going to get a wicket every ball. He loved batting as well, and opened the batting for the seconds when he was captain. He was a strong fielder too, always keeping the opposition on their toes. The "Ken Web Fielding award" is presented every year.
He also had trials as a footballer for Manchester City, before becoming a referee for the Hampshire FA. Latterly, Ken would always be up at the Bramshaw club with his wife Jan to help offer advice to junior players whilst also enjoying the cricket on display.
