During the Second World War, Clifford took a break from cricket for four years whilst he served in the Royal Air Force. After completing his time with the RAF Clifford resumed his association with the club playing for Sutton's first team and the Craven League team, he then went on to captain the second team for a number of years. Clifford is the only surviving member of the Sutton in Craven team who won the "Wynn Cup" in 1947.

Clifford has not only given to the Club as a player but has also served as Ground's Man, Coach and has held various positions on the Committee, and is still very active within the Clubs structure today.

Married to his wife Mary for 55 years they have four children Sharon, Andrew, Julie and Sean

Stuart has been a resident in Sutton in Craven since 1987 but has spent much of that time away serving in the Royal Navy. Since leaving the Navy in 2001, Stuart has given the best part of his spare time to community projects in the village. He was Chairman of the Village Committee from 2001 to late 2006.

After stepping down as Chairman he remained on the committee for a further six months until deciding to take a break altogether to concentrate on his own time and family projects. This was not to be and was very quickly seconded to the Cricket Club committee and he was elected Chairman in November 2007.

Stuart is a keen cricket player and hopes his enthusiasm both on and off the field will help the club to move forward.

A family man, Stuart is married to Christine (who helps with the tea on match days) and has two daughters Victoria and Claire (Scorer for Sutton's second team).
