AFTER 30 YEARS flRTHUR CAllS IT A DA Cuttings from the l3arne t Press Picture taken at Northmet ‘S Woodcro ft Ground on Saturday 27th September es sadly Arthur Brown has called it a day and retired from regular playing for Arkley after nearly 30 years with the club. Sadly too.,the game which was to have been Arthur’s farewell perform— ance (v. British Rail Hatfield at Birchwood) was cancelled due to heavy rain, a fate also suffered by Bill Radwell of Northmet when his farewell game (v. Manor Drive Methodists at Woodcroft)was rained off. As opening bat and wicketkeeper Arthur has performed many notable feats on the pitch (unfortunately I only have figures since 1967 and so can not give you a full playing record) and off the pitch Arthur has done much to keep the club running smoothly including being van driver in Cornwall in 1973 and at present a most efficient chairman. We look forward to Arthur making occasional appear— —ances for us.(I’ll be taking a statistical look at Arthur next month.) _______________ PERSONAL Phi 1J7 1) flo. 0L1U TOWflSflO DATE OF’ BIRTH; 3rd July 1951& PLACE OF BIRT1-1; Sluinberland IHE WAS 3013 INGRAM THERE AT THE TINE; Who? fPbA L\ FlAIR; Fair HEIGHT; Not too bad NINE9’Y— NINE.

In winning Peter Brown scored 53 runs off 48 balls, 27 of which he scored off (i8 x 1, 1 x 2, 3 x 3, 3 x 4, 2 x 6) leaving 21 that he didn’t score off.

In all 353 balls were bowled (and 3 wides) off which 488 runs were scored. 230 of the 353 balls were not scored off including 11 wickets (3 bowled, 6 caught, 1 stumped and 1 run out.) plus 3 run outs from balls that were also scored off. The fastest scoring rate during the competition was by John Griffiths who hit 49 off 18 balls v.
