VALE BRIAN PICKERINGIt is with great sadness the Club reports the passing on Sunday of former player Brian Pickering.Brian came to Elwood as a junior in the early 1980s and went on to become a 3 time premiership player for the Club. He was a great team player and clubman with always a smile on his face. Off the ground it was a pleasure to be with him socially and Brian always had respect for older players. His Elwoood highlight was the 1984/85 D Grade grand final where he was at his best with the ball and was quick and dangerous and took the remarkable figures of 8/43 to help win the match. He played 73 senior games and took 128 wickets as a upcoming fastbowler before moving to Perth. May he rest in peace and he will never be forgotten at the Elwood Cricket Club. ... See MoreSee Less
