The club would like to remember Kev Hobbis who died of cancer earlier this year.Kev was an active member of the club for 10 years and a former chairman. His contribution and sense of humour will be missed by all who knew him.

A one minutes silence was held prior to the match with Melksham following his untimely death. The Kevan Hobbis Trophy was introduced to the club at the end of this season, and is intended to be awarded to a player in recognition of an achievement within the club .Voting for future recipients should be accompanied with a reason why it is thought they should receive the award and should reflect Kev’s sense of humour.
