Cambasdiamond 3 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) We took the home fence down dogs cut 6 inches off bottom to get weeds out without asking Rob so he decided to replace whole home straight Edited February 13, 2020 by Cambasdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aceslider 218 Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Sincere thanks to George and the whole English family past and present. Through thick and thin you have never shirked from the responsibility of keeping our Diamonds team going from one year to the next and for that I am so grateful to you all. Best of luck with "retirement"!! Edited February 17, 2020 by Aceslider Correction to spelling 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringitsneck 348 Posted February 17, 2020 Thank you George. No matter what standard of team we have had over the last few seasons you have kept the sport going when it would have been easier to say goodbye. We all know the sport is dying and love him or hate him, he kept us afloat. The Diamonds are now in a similar situation to that lot down the road when Havelock left the Bears and we know they have turned their fortunes around Now we have the new broom and hopefully a brighter future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
