Selkirk Cricket Club is sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Andrew William Henderson. Andrew passed away peacefully at his home in West Moors, Dorset on the 18th of August aged 98.
Andrew played cricket for Selkirk and was capped once in 1953 for Scotland against Ireland. The match that was badly affected by the weather. He scored two runs batting at number nine as Scotland were all out for 154. Andrew opened the bowling taking no wickets in 2.4 overs. Ireland were on 24 for 1 when rain stopped play and there was no further play.
Andrew also played for the South of Scotland in 1947 and 1953, the Border League in 1953 and the East of Scotland in 1952.
Andrew was husband of the late Kathleen (nee Laurie), father of John, Catriona, Alison and Jamie and grandfather to eleven grandchildren as well as uncle to Neville and Edith.
Our thoughts are with them all at this sad time.A private family service will take place on Friday the 4th of September.
