I am sorry to advise you that Albert Martin, a leading player in the 50's and 60's at St Albans died today (17 December)aged 93.

He also played football for St Albans and Enfield

St Albans won the 6-a-side cup at Choice Cricket Redbourn on Thursday 10th December. A score of 112 (with Matt Howeson and Martin Jones top scores) was met with excellent bowling by Dan Longhurst and Richard O'Toole combined with excellent fielding to take early key wickets. Opposition Lutonians were dismissed for 65. Luke Edwards and Toby Furnival completed the successful team.

A great deal of work to get our organisation fit for purpose was carried out. More news later

We are saddened to report the death of one our Life Members, Sandy Mukherjee, this morning after a short illness. Sandy came to the Club in the early 60’s from India, with a plan to tour Europe, but liked the beer and cricket in St Albans and stayed for the rest of his life. He was an excellent in-swing bowler and unconventional batsman who played for all the Club XI’s. In addition he was Captain of the 2nd XI and 3rd XI also served as Club Captain, Chairman and President as well as raising a great deal of money as Fund Raising Manager and Bar Manager. He was manager of Junior Cricket for many years and was responsible for coaching our most successful U15 team to date. They won the Herts League trophy in 1992. Our condolences go to his family in India and particularly to his great friend Subash Bose, who came to St Albans with him all those years ago.
