Following the sad passing of David Lihou Hamilton on the 18th May 2016, aged 93, we have decided to dedicate a memorial bench to him at Tonbridge Cricket Ground.

Affectionately known as 'Hammers', David was a fearless left hand opening bat representing the Tonbridge Cricket Club from the 1960s for over 5 decades and well known in local cricketing circles. He was at various times the Captain, Secretary, fixture secretary, groundsman and Tonbridge's 'Mr Cricket' who encouraged many generations of younger players to become as absorbed and as enthusiastic in the game as he was.

Cricket was a life-long passion of David's and we thought this would be a fitting tribute to him, allowing him to continue his association with the club.
