On Thursday, Rye enjoyed a successful Presidents’ jubilee day, as a David Dee XI played an Ian Addy XI. Both former players had passed away in 2020, so the day celebrated their contribution to Rye and Iden Cricket Clubs. Craig Pierce hit 110 n.o. as David Dee XI posted 191. The Ian Addy XI passed the target with a six and an over to spare. The weather was perfect and the hospitality of lunch, tea and barbecue was enjoyed by all.
Rye also presented to Cllr Genette Stevens a club cap and junior shirt to recognise the contribution of the Rother Community Grant to build new accessible entries to the pavilion, along with a legacy from Richard Merricks.
