BRAVE RON BATTLES ON

By Andy Sharp, Keelby

Keelby CC would like to wish a speedy recovery to Grimsby Umpire Ron May following Saturday's Lincs League Division 4 game at Keelby against Caistor. Ron was felled by a full-blooded straight drive from Keelby's Bruce Roberts that unfortunately gave him a nasty cut on his leg. After treatment from a first-aider, Ron was determined to stand throughout the remainder of Keelby's innings and then the whole of Caistor's innings. Ron was actually standing alone in the game and I'm sure both Captains were very pleased not to have to made the tricky decision of how to complete the game without him.

  1. Just wish to echo Andy's comments and wish Ron a speedy recovery. When the ball hit Ron's leg the crack of leather on shin could be heard on the boundary.Many might have not continued but Ron carried on to the end.
