Tributes paid after death of secretary

The Upper Airedale Junior Cricket Association paid tribute to Derek Hurren at their annual meeting.

The organisation’s secretary died aged 61 just before Christmas after a short illness.

Hurren, who lived in Cononley, took up his role as league (association) secretary in 1997 after answering a newspaper advert.

Under his leadership, the league developed beyond recognition and, two years ago, it became an association when taking responsibility for representative cricket.

New secretary Terry Thompson said: “Derek’s forte was his rationalisation of association rules, the command of which he had no equal.”
