Pomborneit Recreation Reserve

Vale Malcolm, a wonderful contributor to the Pomborneit Recreation Reserve Committee of Management from 1968 to 1989.

The Pomborneit Cricket Club is saddened by the recent passing of former captain and premiership player Malcolm Boyd.
An aggressive opening batsman who scored three centuries and fine wicketkeeper, Malcolm was a member of the club’s 1969/70 and 1975/76 senior premiership teams. Malcolm was club captain in the 1972/73 season. A member of the club’s 1960/61 and 1961/62 junior premiership teams, Malcolm’s senior career spanned from the early 1960’s until the 1980/81 season. Malcolm also served on the Pomborneit Recreation Reserve Committee of Management from 1968 until 1989. Our thoughts are with Malcolm’s daughters Trecy and Sherry and their families and to the entire Boyd clan.
Vale Malcolm.
