We were saddened to learn yesterday of the passing of Keith Brighthope, a recognisable face across the local sports scene.

Keith was a regular attendee at Hendon games in recent years following our move to Silver Jubilee Park, and was a keen supporter of local and county cricket, regularly attending matches at Middlesex and Surrey, as well as local cricket clubs around North and West London.

We know how well-liked Keith was by many at Hendon, and within the local sporting scene and our thoughts are with all of his family and friends at this sad time.
