RIP Bill Hindley a short message

Message from the club.

There is no doubt that many colts and Petersfield CC benefitted greatly from Bill's sterling work.

For those who did benefit, he introduced high standards and discipline, he was always early and immaculately turned out, all sessions were serious business where training was a discipline.  He also lightened sessions with his dry sense of humour. 

He never lost his enthusiasm for the game.  Even in his 70s he was keen for a game to go on despite impending rain and miserable conditions; when most others wanted to call it off.  He was also generous to opposition youngsters offering advice, sometimes during a game.

He was a much appreciated and good friend to Petersfield cricket club who was a great ambassador for cricket and gave his time generously to the huge benefit of many of our youngsters.
