"It was with great sadness that we recently recieved the news of the passing of Steve Haughton, as he lost his brave fight against illness.

"Steve was a well known and much loved character in local cricket circles touching all he met with his charm and sense of fun, Steve will be sadly missed by all that had the pleasure to know him, a true gentleman both on and off the field."

Andy O'Brien

"Steven Haughton recently passed away after a tremendous battle against cancer at the young age of 35. 

"He leaves behind two children, a fabulous supportive family, too many friends and too many acquantancies. 

"He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered as a great friend, superb cricketer and team member and generally a person you would want to be associated with."
