Peter Walsh 2023 Memorial Cricket Match

This year's "Peter Walsh Memorial Cricket Match" took place at Corbridge Cricket Club on Sunday 17th September 2023.

The match was held in memory of Peter Walsh who sadly passed in April 2020. A much missed member of Trinity Chambers, Peter was a long time captain and organiser of the Newcastle Bar cricket team as well as a fondly regarded supporter of and occasional player for Corbridge Cricket Club. In addition, Peter supported and coached at Corbridge United Junior Football Club.

Peter's colleagues from Trinity joined by other bar members fielded a team 'Walshy's Wanderers XI' against a team from Corbridge Cricket Club. Also attending were many of Peter's family and friends.

The Wanderers managed a score of 96 over 25 overs, but the home team repeated last year's victory with a score of 145.

As with the previous matches, the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many thanks to the generous Corbridge Cricket Club for their hospitality and for again graciously winning Peter's framed club cap, which will continue to reside at Corbridge CC club house until next year's match.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the purchase of new equipment at the club in Peter's memory should contact Richard Stubbs, email R.Stubbs@trinitychambers.co.uk.
