It is with great sadness that we advise that Keith Finch, one of our finest ever cricketers and a most popular figure passed away, quite peacefully on Monday night, 2 October 2017.  He had been moved into a hospice for his last hours. His wife, Jan and his daughters, Natalie and Victoria were at his bedside.

Keith was heartened in his last hours by the many tributes paid to him. At a suitable moment we will publish these.

In the meantime we expect many of you will wish to join in his final farewell to be held at Eltham Crematorium (Falconwood), Crown Woods Way, Eltham, SE9 2AZ at 11.45  and afterwards at the Police Sports and Social Club, The Warren, Croydon Road, Hayes, Kent BR2 7AL

A tribute to Keith’s career was published last year and can be found under Player Profile
