Caistor’s stalwart Wes Allison has retired from running the club’s junior cricket after 34 years.That’s a remarkable achievement and one that was marked by the presentation of a tankard to him during the club’s annual dinner, held on Friday night at Grimsby Golf Club.
Perhaps someone at Lincolnshire County Cricket Limited, ECB headquarters, Caistor Town Council, West Lindsey District Council and/or Lincolnshire County Council will decide they should honour Wes further for his efforts in helping develop so many young players over the years.
He will make an obvious nomination for next year’s county and/or national OSCAs.
The youngsters Wes has overseen haven’t all got as far as first class cricket, like keeper Wayne Noon, but many have represented the club with distinction at Lincs ECB and Lincs League premier level.
The majority, of course, have just enjoyed many seasons happily playing the game – at whatever level.
As a left-arm pace bowler, Wes toiled away for many seasons, with considerable success, in Caistor colours. Oh, and one year with Brigg Town in 1974 (Grimsby League).
Wes has kindly supplied Lincs Cricket Latest with a selection of pictures from the club dinner.
Ryan McKitton - most boundaries; Terry McKitton - 3rd team bowling; Peter Jacob - 3rd team batting.
Kieran Brooker - most improved under 15 and under 17 bowling.
Pete Briggs - 1st team batting; Gareth Johnson - under 17 batting and most improved under 17.
Reg Percival - club person of the year.
Ryan McKitton, Harry Boulton, Graham Boulton, Liam Wood.
