A bat once wielded by one of Australia’s most famous cricketers was presented to Galloway Cricket Club at Gatehouse on Saturday.
The sporting antique, signed by legendary Aussie batsman Sir Donald Bradman and his famous 1948 touring team, was presented to club officials by Mary Coombs during a break in play at the Cally ground.
Mary’s husband Dennis – after whom the new pavilion is named – was a club stalwart up until his passing in December, 2019.
