Tim completed a hat trick when he managed to break his thumb in the game at Golcar. It was the third successive year that he had broken a digit midway through the season.
These latest misfortunes add to the disappointment he had when he missed a Sykes Cup final appearance with Holmfirth suffering with a similar problem.
How unlucky can you get? He had been having a good season picking up many stumpings in his partnership with Pushpakumara.
He keeps threatening to retire but cricket is in his blood and prior to start of this season he had 562 victims behind the stumps in his career at Shepley, Holmfirth and Shelley.
He is a hard worker behind the scenes but it is hard to imagine him without the wicket keeper’s gauntlets on his hands at the start of a new season.
