Local cricket will be remembering Rick Kellaway at IBM Hursley on Sunday (1pm) at a special memorial match involving the Hampshire Disability team.
Rick was among Romsey’s best-known sportsmen, both as a footballer and subsequently a manager, and in 1984 played for Hursley Park in the National Village Cricket Cup final at Lord’s.
Rick Kellaway died last January having fought a brave battle against cancer.
He put his heart and soul into local sport, both as a player, coach and manager, and inspiring youngsters either on the field or from the touchline.
In the winter months Rick played soccer for Romsey Town before taking up managerial roles with Nursling and Awbridge. He spent most of his cricket career with Hursley Park before joining Old Tauntonians & Romsey as a successful junior coach.
He was hugely passionate about his sport, none more so than his later involvement with disabled/disadvantaged people and the Hampshire Disability cricket team.
On Sunday 8 August at Mannyngham Way, Timsbury (next door to Hunts Farm Playing Fields) there is a veterans football match between Michelmersh & Timsbury v Awbridge, 10.30.
