Many people will have known John Poustie as a great teacher, brother, uncle and friend.

Even more people will have crossed paths with him from his time playing a variety of sports throughout London and the West Country.

John unfortunately passed away after 4 hard years with this terrible illness.

To pay homage to him, his father Harry Poustie and the countless people effected by this illness, The Poustie XI will be taking to the cricket pitch on Saturday the 19th July at 2 pm to play Dunsford CC at the game he loved.

We will be having a bbq and beers throughout the day and anyone is welcome to come and share some memories of John and watch some below par cricket. The pitch is a bit of a nightmare to find so please follow the Google maps link below.
