Bank holiday Monday, 8 teams playing 6-a-side cricket, lots of spectators, people catching up with old friends, much laughter, quite a bit of reminiscing, BBQ going, great match teas served, even sun (after the initial shower that put the bacon buttie BBQ out!). It was obviously the annual tournament in memory of Jeremy, who was taken from us far too early, aged just 23, in 2014.

All 8 teams were, as usual, connected to Jeremy – Swansea University Old Boys, Swansea University current, BCC Old Boys, BCC All Edges, BCC VI A, Sports Nut, Dr Challoner’s Grammar School and The Circus. It was really lovely to see so many faces return from previous years, as well as some new ones, for a relaxed and fun day. All the matches were played in good spirit and with good humour, with a touch(!) of competitiveness. Deserved finalists were BCC Old Boys and Swansea Uni current (which included 2 BCC players currently studying there), with Swansea Uni current emerging victorious.

It wasn’t just about having fun and remembering Jeremy, though. As ever, all profits from the day are going to two charities close to the Suter family’s heart - Bucks Youth Cricket Trust and Food for the Hungry. We raised over £2,500.
