This year's "Peter Walsh Memorial Cricket Match" took place at Corbridge Cricket Club on Sunday 1st September 2024.
The match was held in memory of much missed member of Chambers, Peter Walsh who sadly passed in April 2020. Peter was a long time organiser of the Newcastle Bar cricket team that he also captained. He was also an avid supporter of Corbridge Cricket Club, where he occasionally played. Peter also supported and regularly coached at Corbridge United Junior Football Club.
As in previous years, Peter's colleagues from Trinity Chambers were joined by other bar members fielding the team 'Walshy's Wanderers XI' against a team from Corbridge Cricket Club. Also attending were many of Peter's family and friends.
Unfortunately, rain stopped play during the Wanderers' innings. Corbridge Cricket Club scored 109-8 from 25 overs and the Wanderers were on 75-1 from 14 overs, so looking good when rain stopped play and the Captains shook hands!
Despite the weather's best efforts, the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The photo shows Corbridge CC’s Captain, Chris Jowsey on the left and Trinity’s Richard Stubbs with Peter’s framed club cap proposing a toast in his memory. Many thanks to Corbridge Cricket Club for their generous hospitality.
