Garry Irvine appointed president of Harrogate cricket club Druids
Druids Cricket Club, the historic Harrogate club founded in 1915, has appointed Garry Irvine as its president.
Mr Irvine is a former Druids captain as well as an outstanding rugby union player who captained Harrogate RUFC and represented an Anglo-Scots XV against the All Blacks.
His appointment follows the death of previous president Simon Corner, a much-respected figure in the Harrogate area.
Druids is a nomadic social cricket club that celebrated its centenary in 2015 with a match against the famous MCC.
Such is the club’s standing that it was invited to play Yorkshire as part of former England Test bowler Ryan Sidebottom’s testimonial year.
Mr Irvine said:
The club plays friendly fixtures against other social or local Harrogate clubs, usually on Sundays.
Players of all abilities and supporters are very welcome to join the Druids.
For more information, visit the club’s Facebook page or contact club secretary Mark Moorby at melmoorby@hotmail.com.
