Shropshire and Staffordshire cricket loses great servant Heather
Tributes have been paid to a cricket lover who was given special recognition by the England and Wales Cricket Board for her service to the game.
Heather Evans, who has died aged 86, also served Bridgnorth as a scorer and treasurer and the club was so grateful for her service they named the score box after her.
Heather and her husband Ray joined the Bridgnorth club in 1976 after moving from Codsall, where she was also a scorer for the village cricket club.
After moving to Bridgnorth, Ray served as head groundsman for many years, while Heather immediately took on the cricket treasurer's job as well as scorer.
She was one of the first to used coloured pens for each bowler, so they and the batters could see who scored what runs off each individual player at the end of the game.
