Devastatingly sad news that John Wood has died today. Greenfield to the core, we will never see the like of Woody again. Fierce competitor, great encourager, family and cricket were everything to John. Can't believe we won't be doing a lap come the cricket season.

Really sad to hear of the death of Eddie Bayliss. Long time chairman of the SDCL and umpire. Old school proper gentleman. Never saw without a tie on. Will always remember his catch phrase at the end of every over in a loud and kind voice "That's over gentlemen"
