Mr Tony Lewis

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Tony Lewis - a true gent, great confident, fantastic friend, and an unsung hero in the development of our club to where it is today. Our thoughts are with Rebecca, Ollie, and Ella. We shall be in touch in due course with how the club intends to honour his memory.

Tony joined us from Hurstpierpoint CC and played his first game for Trinity 3XI on 10th May 2008 at Billingshurst, opened the batting and scored 60 runs and then took 4 wickets with his (often unique) slow loopy bowling, accompanied by his wide beaming smile. That 60 remained his top score for the club, but he improved on his bowling figures with a best of 5 for 26 two years later against Roffey. In his seasons at the club, Tony took exactly 200 wickets at 19.15 apiece and scored 911 runs - laterally unselfishly in the lower order, having captained a number of our adult sides throughout those years whilst bringing the next generation of Trinity players through.

He will be missed by all at the club. Rest in Peace Papa T.
