Gavin
Raper -
contacted me in January 06 - Dear Steve, Came
across your site browsing Google during the lunch break ! Congratulations
its great. I played my first game for Sewerby in1956
at the tender age of eleven and from then was a regular team member
until around 1966 when after university I moved away to work. Whilst
a Sewerby player we lived at Danes Dyke Farm which is now derilict
in the middle of the golf course the council decided to build on
the farm land. My father, Brian Raper ( now deceased ) was once
club captain. Good to see the ground looking so neat and tidy.
Even when I played it was a luxery compared to most of the pitches
we played on at Grindle, Bempton etc where most likely you were
on a strip cut out of the middle of a cow meadow with the unavoidable
cow pats. The green stains on your whites did not come from the grass!!
Would be interested to know if you have any contacts from other players
from my time. I now live in Derby but work in Geneva Switzerland. Best
regards
Gavin
Raper
Paul Hebden - Contacted me recently through the website - now playing for Ebberston (just for fun!) - lives in Hunmanby
Larry Tyler - Larry has just recently contacted me:
I have just seen
your website and would like to give a little information, for you to pass
on to anyone who cares to look up Sewerby C.C.I am now retired from work,I
do however still spend a lot of time in my allotments.I have also swapped
dabbling in metal for dabbling in wood, giving my daughter's partner a
hand with his joinery business,making verandas for caravans. so if anyone
out there is looking for a supurb pine veranda,the man to reach is at
Top Decks.I keep telling Joan that I will have to pop up to the Ship one
of these Friday nights , to see if any of you still spend some time there.I
reckon Sewerby could give the present England team a run for their money.I
told Joan not to chuck me boots out. see you sometime.
Cheers. Larry Tyler.

John Alden - John has just recently contacted me -
I am living in Derbyshire and, during the summer, play regularly for Belper Meadows 2nd XI as wicket - keeper / batsman. We run four Saturday teams in the Derbyshire County Cricket League and the 1st XI is just below county 2nd XI level. I work for a large national engineering company, based in Birmingham, and very occasionally bump into Richard Blythe. It is good, and in some cases surprising, to note that many of my former fellow players are still playing or otherwise involved but what became of such luminaries as Larry Tyler, Julian Traves, Mark Gummerson, Pete Baxter and Richard 'Tricky Dicky' Bapty? Please pass on my regards to all who remember me and good luck for the coming season. I do get home now and again so, who knows, I may even get along to see some of you. Bye for now, John Alden.Chris Langton
Niall Young Now working in Lincolnshire as a Cricket Coach
