Mr Heppenstall, described by the club as a 'dear friend and local legend' - passed away aged 86 in 2018.

He officiated for more than 40 years in the Grantham and Melton Cricket Association, South Notts league and South Lincs Border League, including up to the year before his death.

Mr Heppenstall Vic also got the chance to run the rule over a few of the game’s internationals in big feature matches, through the Belvoir Castle Cricket Trust.

A similar event was held two years ago with a good turnout of around 300 people.
