It is with the deepest regret that we announce the passing of Roy Walker on 25th February 2020.

Roy was an outstanding player and coach of the club.

Roy was a career teacher and mentor to all he knew, through his understanding of the game he went on to develop players at all levels, he possessed a tremendous ability to encourage young men to exceed their expectations in all that they did.

A great Rugby Man

Our thoughts are with Roy’s family at this very sad time

Please Note: Roy's Funeral will be at Poole Crematorium on Tuesday 10th March 2020 at 10.30am, and afterwards at Dudsbury Golf Club.

Roger Whyle
Chairman
