We’re sorry to say that our beloved Club President, Les Stott, has died. Les has been playing cricket for a long time. He played well for Caverswall starting in the 1950s and then worked as a league judge for an amazing 30 years.
Everything Les did for the sport showed how much he loved it and wanted to improve it. For thirty years, he was a respected part of the cricket community. As a league umpire, he worked hard to encourage fair play and good sportsmanship. He was more than just a peacemaker as a cricket referee; he became a symbol of honesty and fair play.
People will always remember how Les changed Caverswall, where he started playing football in the 1950s. His fellow cricketers liked him because he worked hard at the game all through his time as a player and an umpire.
People who were lucky enough to know Les Stott will be very sad about his death. Our thoughts go out to Christine, his family, and everyone else who is sad about this loss. During this hard time, we remember Les as a person who lived by the values that made cricket a sport of brotherhood and company. He was also a great player and a respected umpire.
We will all remember Les Stott for how well-behaved he was at games he officiated and in games he played in. I hope his soul rests in peace, and I hope that the love of cricket that he shared with everyone will continue to inspire people for years to come.
