THE DICK LEAR CUP

Richard “Dick” Lear passed away in 2010 having played / umpired for both Torquay CC and Kingskerswell CC for over 40 overs.  Dick’s two sons David and Jon also played for both clubs.

Subsequently a cup was donated to remember him.  It has either been played between an Aaron Printers Cup Select XI and a Brockman Cup Select XI or winners of the respective cups.

This year, Ipplepen CC 1st XI will take on Barton CC 2nd XI.  The headline battle could be between two current stars of Devon Youth Cricket, Thomas Cox (U15)  of Barton  and Warwick Green (U16) of Ipplepen. 

Possible members of the Barton team formerly of this parish are Tom Drake, Andy McVeigh, Matt Needham and Chris Stubbs.

Possible members of the Ipplepen team formerly of this parish are Matt Beasant, Jono Colegate, Marcus Green, Joe Parker, Mawgan Penrice and Noah Rider.

Also likely to present, possibly in the “box” for Ipplepen, Simon Tapley who played alongside Jon Lear as youngsters for Torquay CC. 

Please come and support the match which commences at 2pm.
