FRIENDS, former team-mates and supporters rolled back the years and pulled on their whites at Cherry Tree Cricket Club to remember a popular former player and committee man.

The club decided to raise money for the Mind charity in tribute to Alan, the former head teacher of St Charles RC Primary School in Rishton who died last year, and Sunday’s fun day also featured raffles and a disco.
