Richard Beamish - RIP
It is with great sadness that YMCA CC announce the recent passing of Richard Beamish after a short illness.
Beamo was a fantastic stalwart of the club, who not only played for the 1st XI but also held office as the Club President in 1996/97.
Appreciation by Derek Dockrell - YMCA CC President.
“It is with sadness, we learnt of Richard’s passing away. Richard contributed a lot to our club in various capacities including as a tenacious opening bat on the 1st XI and in later years, on the lower teams. Off the field, he looked after the ground for many years and took great pride in the wicket at Claremont Road . He organised the much needed relaying of the square in the late 80s which allowed talented youngsters to develop and provided the most successful years in the club’s history. He also contributed to the club off the field and organised many memorable club dinners. Our thoughts are with his family.”
