Peter Nitsch
It’s with great sadness that we report that long-time Mallard, Peter Nitsch has passed away.
Peter was a Mallard through and through; he joined the club in 2006 and quickly became a mainstay member, clocking up well over 100 caps for the team. In his youth Peter bowled pace for South-North, but for Mallards he was a wily spin bowler (especially at the end of innings) and a useful batsman – specialising in flicked 6 shots, which helped us post many a decent score.
A key figure also at Riding Mill CC, Peter was vital to the club’s survival prior to its recent resurgance, dedicating his evenings and weekends to mowing the outfield and preparing the pitches. He was vital to the longstanding friendship between Mallards and RMCC.
Despite not playing in the last couple of years, Peter remained a true friend to the club, supporting us in the background. Our sincerest condolences go to his wife Alison, and their two daughters Rhianna and Bethan.
