The club is deeply saddened to have learned of the passing of former player and SUCC legend, Clyde Cutting.

Clyde joined the club in the early 1990s and was a strong presence at Sulhamstead & Ufton C.C. for many years thereafter. He was an outstanding wicketkeeper - in his own words, "the best wicketkeeper never to have played for the West Indies!" - and was a star player throughout the early years of the Berkshire Cricket League. He was also a fantastic batsman and could have played at a much higher level but for his commitments in and around the Reading area.

Clyde was also one of the club's first Junior coaches and managers, and had a significant influence on a number of players who went onto (and in some cases, still do) play for the 1st XI.

Above all, Clyde was a gentleman, a charming man, and a wonderful character who left an indelible mark on our club which we are truly grateful for.

Our thoughts and the thoughts of all our members are with Clyde's family and friends.
