Members of St Blazey Cricket Club paid tribute to the late Nick Carter at their first match of the season on Saturday.This year, which would have been Nick Carter's 40th season, also marks the centenary of the club joining the Cornwall Cricket League.
Spokesman Darren Kirwan said: "Nick was a main stalwart of the club. As well as being an outstanding player, he devoted countless hours on the ground, providing the club with what is regarded as one of the best playing surfaces in the county.
"Nick was also very generous financially, and whilst the word 'irreplaceable' is often used glibly, with Nick it is very true.

"The club are determined, as he would have expected, to continue to maintain facilities to the standards he set."Members of the club have planted a tree at the ground in tribute to Nick.
They are also asking local businesses to support the club in their centenary year by buying advertising space around the ground.
Darren said: "With increased costs, we are asking businesses to help and hope they will support us.
"Over the hundred years much has changed."We have had three different grounds in this time, firstly at Kilhallon, then to what is now St Blazey football field - where Ken Crowle once hit six sixes in one over - and at our current ground at Middleway where we have been resident since 1967."
Saturday's match was very close, but good news for St Blazey's centenary year.
The team played St Austell's second team and won by two runs.
