The Club has been notified of the sad passing of Jimmy Gardner. Jim played for several clubs over the years, and was a team member in our Aughton League ‘B’ side in our inaugural 2016 season, playing in one of the first matches to be played on the artificial green.
Prior to that Jimmy played with several of us over the years at the Windmill and was well known in bowling circles. He was a keen sportsman and lover of all sports, as well as enjoying an occasional flutter. For many years, when younger, he ran the Burscough Boxing Club, training many young lads in the sport.
Jimmy always enjoyed playing with and encouraging the younger players at our club and he will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
