St Bernard’s Old Collegians Cricket club is mourning the
tragic loss of Harry Overman who passed away this week.
Harry played Junior and Senior Cricket with our Club since
under 12’s before dedicating himself to developing into the best footballer
that he could be going on to win the SBOCFC U19 and competition wide B&F in
2010.
He played Junior Cricket
in the morning and Senior Cricket in the afternoon then was often seen practicing
in the nets after play alongside his brother Tom and other close Snowdog mates.
He had a breakout season in 2008/09 when as a 15 yr old,
after playing in the juniors on Saturday made a 100 in the Senior Competition
on the Sunday followed by a score of 87 a few weeks later. He no doubt would
have gone on to represent our club in the first XI but unfortunately for us,
Football was Harry’s main love.
Harry’s energy, smile, dedication and big heart will be
sadly missed around the St Bernard’s community.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mick, Kerry, Tom, Will
and Sarah and the extended Overman family who have been a large part of the St
Bernard’s Old Collegians club since formation.
