Heriot’s Cricket Club is hugely saddened by the loss of one of its finest ever servants in Hamish K. More.
His cricketing prowess contributed hugely to the success of both club and country.
He was an outstanding Nail and his presence will be greatly missed at Goldenacre.
We are devastated at hearing the passing of Willie Morton . Willie was a great role model, sportsman and a total gentleman to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with our club captain Keith Morton, his family and friends.
(1/2) Having had one of the most successful years in our 130 year history, capturing the Scottish Cup, Masterton Trophy and East League Division 3 title, everyone at Heriot’s is devastated to learn of the plans by George Heriot’s School to dig up the first square at Goldenacre -
(2/2) a full international venue - and construct two artificial hockey pitches in its place. Being the most successful Heriot’s sporting club, to think that it will all come to an end is truly heartbreaking. No doubt that upset will be felt right across the sporting community.
@HeriotsCricket
are delighted to announce
@PeterRoss02
as our first ever Director of Cricket. Peter’s credentials in the game and as a Nail are extremely impressive and we look forward to him spearheading the club’s ambitious plans for the future of cricket at Goldenacre.
We are delighted to announce the signing of Scotland international
@crossy16
🏏.
Matthew joins us from Bexley CC and will make a fantastic addition to the club.
Unfortunately handshakes with
@MarkWatt
will be banned.

(1/3) We
@HeriotsCricket
are overwhelmed by the support received in recent days and continue to be bewildered as to why
@george_heriots
would wish to tear up an international cricket venue at a time when participation in cricket in Scotland has increased by 50% within two years.
(3/3) It is our duty to enlighten the school of the irreversible devastation the proposed development will cause if it proceeds. The support of all lovers of sport in those efforts will be warmly appreciated - at Goldenacre and beyond.

This weekend marks Hayes' last weekend playing for Heriot's.
He has been such an integral part of the club, both on and off the pitch since joining the club in 2016. We wish him all the best with his future endeavours and we will always welcome him back on the Goldie Balcony!
After nearly a decade of devoted service to the club,
@MjShean

@FCC1860

This is a wonderful gesture from Ben Stokes. He has gone into hospital to pay a visit to Aberdeenshire professional Solo Nqweni, who is recovering from serious illness! Great to see the South African lad on the mend!

(2/3)To see the sheer desperation in the faces of so many interested parties at the information event on Wednesday afternoon only deepens that bewilderment. Our community owes so much to the iconic venue at Goldenacre and to the sport of cricket itself.

Not long to go until both our men and women are back in international action. Shane Burger has named his squad for the ODIs against the Netherlands today. All the info here:
It’s not often that a boy gets to have his hero as his best friend.
A friend. A teammate. A coach. A Dad. And a soon to be Grandfather.
Thankfully there are so many happy memories of this great man. I just wish there was a few more still to come.
Thanks for everything Dad.
🗓On This Day🗓
In 2012, The Nails defeated rivals
@WatsonianCC
by 7 wickets to win the Scottish Cup for a third time. An unbeaten 114 run partnership between Kneebone (51*) and Farrell (75*) saw us to glory. We would have to wait 7 years for the trophy to return to Goldie. 🏆
Happy New Year to all our followers, supporters and players when it comes. 2020 has been a tough year for many of us and we wish you all a better 2021. Stay safe and see you all down at Goldenacre in 2021.

We at Heriot’s are saddened to hear of the passing of Sandy, a regular at Goldenacre across many years as a umpire and more recently as a supporter.
Our thoughts go out to his family during this time.
All at ESCA are saddened to hear of the passing of Scottish cricket stalwart, Sandy Scotland. He was a very familiar face through all levels of the game, particularly as an umpire, but also contributed to ESCA over the years. Rest in peace Sandy.
We would like to wish
@BillyAAshraf1
all the best in his new role in Manchester and would like to thank him for everything he has given to the club over the years as a player and president.
