Bromley Cricket Club are sad to announce the death of Berry Summers.

Berry had been a member for some 46 years of which over 25 years were spent playing with the 1st X1. He played in the losing semi-final team in the National Knockout in 1974 and was a member of Bromley’s first ever Kent League Championship side in 1991. He also played many times for the Kent League side.

Berry was a very difficult bowler to read bowling his left arm googlies and Chinaman and was a more than useful right handed bat. He was also an excellent squash player.

He suffered bad health in his latter years and died, last Monday, in the Princess Royal Hospital.

An unassuming, educated man who will be very much missed.

Berry’s funeral will be held on Monday, April 12, at Beckenham Crematorium at 2.15 p.m.
