4th August 2010

Cath Ward, Martin's wife, was involved in a fatal road accident today whilst taking part in a cycling time trial. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Martin, Fiona and Louise.
Cath was an inaugural member of the Dorridge Ladies Cricket Team, formed in 2006, and was an obvious choice as the first Captain. She had played at University, and although a little rusty she soon showed that the game came naturally to her. In the first full season of 2007, Cath lead the team through 9 matches winning 4.
In the Twenty20 format she excelled as a batsman and as a bowler was a regular wicket taker. Her last outing in the side was in April 2009 against Warwick University. Cath was involved with the Junior Coaching at Dorridge CC and held a Level 1 Coaching Certificate.
Cath's love of cycling grew to the detriment of her cricket as it was easier on the joints, but she still kept in touch and was a source of great encouragement.
She will be sorely missed.  CATH WARD.
