We are saddened to learn of the passing of Malcolm Nixon. Malcolm loved his family and his cricket. He was happy to share his knowledge of game and wicket care and preparation to all. A supporter of Woodlands of late but spent many an hour as a player and groundsman at Jer Lane.

Our thoughts are with James and the rest of his family and our friends at Jer Lane at this time.

Love WCC
