Remembering Army
A lifetime with the club.
A future for others.
Mike Armstrong, known to everyone as Army, was deeply involved with Staithes Cricket Club throughout his life. Although we sadly lost him a few years ago, his commitment to the club and to young people remains at the heart of this day.
The legacy that matters.
Army cared passionately about the development of children and young people in sport. Army’s Day celebrates that spirit by bringing local clubs together and raising money to help others take their next step.
A community effort.
Every year, cricket, a big raffle and the generosity of our community help raise money for Army’s Fund. The fund turns that support into practical help for local sport.
