I am very sad to hear of Keith's passing. We played cricket together for The Carols throughout the late 60s, the 70s and into the 80s. He was a solid middle-order bat and a useful medium first-change bowler. Each year we would tour in the West Country very close to where I now live. Keith was a keen tourist. I attach a photo of The Antelope which was a hotel in Sherbourne where we stopped in 1985 I think. I took this photo on a wet Saturday in August this year. Alas, it is no longer a hotel. We all have fond memories of Keith and his cricketing and post-cricket activities. Mine, which I hope doesn't offend is of him being dismissed down at Stanklyn Lane. As he trooped off his lovely wife Ollie was sitting with the scorers and said; unlucky Kieth, you were out for 13, 12 of them in singles. Rest in peace, Keith. Get the wicket ready for your old teammates who will inevitably join you soon. Oh and a round in ... Maurice - Moss
