Peterborough Telegraph’s Alan Swann recently reported on Huntingdonshire cricketer Gary Scotcher.
"After an innings which has lasted the best part of 50 years, leading local cricketer Gary Scotcher has finally hung up his bat and gloves. It’s ‘grandchildren and golf’ for the 61-year-old now. He’s quit the game he graced for Parkside, Old Deaconians, Mitchells, Baker Perkins, Barnack and Nassington after collecting one injury too many while playing for Hunts in a National Over 50s game in May.
Scotcher, who was also a top-notch local footballer as well as a cricketer good enough to play for his country, was a classy left-handed batsman and a popular figure on the local circuit."
“I’ve had a long, very enjoyable innings, but the time is right to stop,” Scotcher said.
