In front of a set of stumps at the end of one of the pitches at Bishops Hull Cricket Club in Taunton, they had placed a photograph of Barnaby Webber that quickly became the centrepiece of immense floral grief.
Barnaby was a fine, enthusiastic young player. Less than two weeks ago, he hit an unbeaten 56 at Lympsham & Belvedere Cricket Club as Bishop Hull’s Sunday first eleven chased down a target of 145 without losing a wicket. In that same game, he took 3-9 with the ball.
Grace O’Malley Kumar represented England at under-16 and under-18 levels and was described as a “huge talent” by Southgate Hockey Club. Grace had also played cricket, with distinction, for Woodford Wells Cricket Club and Essex County Cricket Club women’s sides.
