Remembering Trevor Blandford
On behalf of the President, Committee, Players, Past Players, and Life Members, the Moe Cricket Club sadly acknowledges the passing of Trevor Blandford – a life member, stalwart, and larger-than-life figure of our club.
Trevor wore many hats during his time with the club – player, captain, committee member, and long-time facilities manager – and wore each of them with passion, pride, and plenty of personality. He was never one to hold back his opinions, and while he could be a pain in the ass at times (and we say that with love), you always knew exactly where he stood.
That honesty and fire came from a deep love for the club. Everything Trevor did was for the good of Moe Cricket Club, and his heart was always in the right place. He cared fiercely about the people, the facilities, the future, and the spirit of the club. If something needed fixing, he was onto it. If something needed saying, he said it.
Trevor was also the bloke who always did the jobs no one else wanted to do — without being asked, and more often than not, without anyone even noticing. Whether it was early mornings, late nights, or thankless tasks, Trevor just got on with it, not for recognition, but because he genuinely cared.
His contribution can’t be summed up in titles or roles. He was a presence – dependable, passionate, and always willing to put in the hard yards when others wouldn’t. The club was part of who he was, and thanks to his years of tireless service, he’s forever part of who we are.
To Karen, Trevor’s beloved wife and constant supporter, and to all his family and friends – our deepest sympathies and gratitude for sharing him with us.
Rest easy, Trev. You’ve left a mark that won’t be forgotten.
