The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I enjoyed my first piece of work so much I went on to complete
a larger, more ambitious piece. I have enjoyed many happy hours
watching cricket at Sefton. I remember as a child watching cricket
matches with my father up on the grassy bank, and some years later
with my boyfriend John, who became my husband of 49 years.
My family have been involved with the club as members since 1969,
with my father becoming a vice president. My late husband played
there in the past and now my three grandsons play for the 1st, 2nd
and Junior teams. We still enjoy many hours of cricket in the lovely
setting of Sefton Park.
In 2010 the club celebrated its 150th anniversary. I felt it was only
right and fitting they should have a place on the Liverpool Tapestry.
I dedicate this piece of work to my grandsons, David, James and
Daniel Baird. May they and all who play at Sefton continue to play
good cricket, bringing pleasure to all who watch and support this
magnificent club.”
