Umpires in the NCU will wear black armbands on Saturday in memory of colleague and Ballymena club member Richard Campbell who has died suddenly at the age of 37.

A post on Ballymena CC’s social media channel said: “Ricky had a passion for cricket, whether playing, scoring or umpiring. The club mourns the loss of a friend & teammate. Our thoughts are with Ricky's family and friends at this time.”
