Neil has been a long time member of Dorridge Cricket Club, and he and Avie have always been regular supporters of "All Things Dorridge". Neil was, for many years, the regular Second team Umpire until his retirement from that role in 2005, also officating at our Lashings Fixtures and most of the County Benefit games. He always brought a balance of fair play, common sense and humour to the games and was widely admired around the Leagues. There will be no-one at Dorridge that did not know Neil was an Arsenal supporter, but we tried not to hold that against him. The thoughts of everyone at DCC are with Avie and Joseph at this time. He will be greatly missed by his many friends. NEIL CLUNE 12 Sept 2009 The Season's Finale: The first's fail at the last fence but the second's clear their last hurdle and win promotion.
