Greenmount Cricket Club are sad to report that former player and coach Frank Skinner has died at the age of 89.
Frank – father of club chairman Andy Skinner – joined the Mount in the early 1970s following a move into the area. He had previously played for his village club Read, near Burnley, in the Ribblesdale League.
He quickly established himself as a well-respected club stalwart whether training the club’s young players with long time junior coach Malcolm Grime, or skippering the club’s second eleven.
Frank’s funeral will be held at East Lancashire Crematorium, Radcliffe on Tuesday, March 18th at 1.30pm and afterwards at the Log Cabin where the family invite everyone to share their memories of Frank.
All at Greenmount send their sincere condolences to his wife Barbara and sons Andrew and Robin and their families.
