A big thank you to those committee members moving on, Nigel Benn, Teena Joyce & Sam Cameron. Your efforts have been appreciated and we are sure you will still contribute to the club one way or another.

Farewell Larry Markham

We recently farewelled our much-respected patron, friend and loyal club supporter Larry Markham at a moving tribute at the club with family and friends.

It was a fitting way to celebrate Larry's life and thanks to the wider Markham family and Robbie Oram for organising a fond farewell.

It was great to see a huge turnout which truly reflected the respect Larry had built up in footballing circles over many years. The many eulogies and memories were heartfelt and memorable and Larry will truly never walk alone.
