Chris Davey Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I’m really sorry to hear this. I knew Colin more from him following Delabole Cricket Club, when he was watching his son, Glen, play against Grampound Road. Colin was a lovely man, who always had time for a chat about football or cricket. I know he did a lot for the old Duchy League. Condolences to Glen and the family.
