Announcement of Martyn Watts Passing
It is with great sadness that Roving Reporters Cricket Club announce the recent passing of Martyn Watts at the age of 78. A dedicated member of the club, Martyn was a stalwart who made an incredible 603 appearances - ranking 4th in the club's all-time records.
Martyn joined RRCC on 11th May 1975, debuting on the same day as his elder brother, Roy. His passion for cricket and unwavering commitment to the team were truly inspiring, and he embodied the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship that our club values.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Pauline, and two sons, Colin and Graham. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him during this difficult time.
Martyn’s funeral service will be held on Monday, 30th December 2024, at New Southgate Crematorium at 11.00am. Following the service, refreshments will be provided at Old Owen’s Sports Club in Potters Bar, where family and friends are invited to gather, celebrate, and share memories of Martyn’s life.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests close family flowers only. Rest in peace, Martyn. You will forever remain a cherished part of our club’s legacy.
