VALE JIM CHERRETT
It is with sadness that we note the passing of James "Jim" Cherrett, who as well as being one of this distrct/zone's outstanding bowlers was also one of nature's gentlemen. The last few years he has been a member of Taree Leagues and previous to that at Tuncurry and Singleton.
Jim has not enjoyed the best of health lately and sadly has succumbed to his illness.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family.
