This week we take a look at another of Langholm’s 1976 cricketing legends, with the spotlight falling on Billy Currie.

Billy played 87 games for the club between 1967 and 1979, scoring 340 runs and taking 23 catches during his time at the Castleholm. He was best known around the team for having a “muckle airm” — or “big arm” for anyone trying to translate — and could fire the ball in from the boundary like a rocket straight into the wicketkeeper’s gloves.

Although Billy’s playing career with the club lasted just 12 years, he made a huge impact both on and off the field. Fiercely competitive, he gave 100% every time he stepped onto the park, but away from the action he enjoyed nothing more than sharing a sociable drink with his teammates after a hard day’s cricket.

Billy played six matches in that famous 1976 title-winning season, with a highest score of 37 not out. Winning the Border League with Langholm meant the world to Billy and remains the highlight of his cricketing career. Like so many from that side, he often spoke about the incredible team spirit within the squad and how it carried them all the way to lifting the championship trophy.

After retiring from playing, Billy remained a loyal supporter of the club, regularly making his way up to the Castleholm to enjoy a drink or two.

Billy now resides at Burnfoot Care Home near Ecclefechan, and everyone at Langholm Cricket Club sends him their very best wishes. He is a man who gave everything for his club and teammates, and we hope he can celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary in his own special way.

Billy Currie — another true Langholm legend who will never be forgotten at the Castleholm.

We hope everyone enjoyed the day at the Flapping yesterday.

Going forward, we kindly ask that no one enters the cricket club grounds when the club is closed. Our CCTV has recorded a number of young people accessing the area behind the clubhouse, where club machinery and tools are stored.

For health and safety reasons, this area and the club grounds in general when the club is not open are strictly out of bounds.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
