Won the League Bowling award in 1981, the first Ponteland player to do so (John Clark won the Divisional Award in 1975).Took 4 wickets in 4 deliveries against Ashington in a 1XI Cup match in 1982 and a hat-trick in 1972 against North Walbottle. In his 1XI career Ron recorded 4 wickets or more in an innings more times than he took none! Played 1 2XI game in 2004 recording figures of 13-7-11-1. Still playing in 2005 in the Midweek side, in his second match of 2005 at Benwell Hill Ron claimed his 200th wicket for the side, the first player to do so. Retired from playing at the end of the 2006 season and was presented with the Jameson Cup for his efforts. The only player to take 7 wickets in a game for the 1XI, 2XI, Midweek and Friendly sides.

Ron was also voted in to the position of President to follow Roy Storer standing down after 3 years. The November 2010 AGM also saw Ron stand down from the Committee and he accepted Honorary Life Membership of the club.
