Tears and Laughter (lots of laughter)

The Former Players Lunch last Saturday was another tremendous success.

A sit down lunch was followed by a welcome address from Club Chairman Bob Wilkinson, who noted some fresh 'old faces' were joining us this year and thanked those who travelled long distances to make the event - surely we must be doing something right if an old boy can travel 200 miles for a few beers!

Then we remembered two former Clitheroe players who had very recently passed away, Malcolm Heanan & Phil Dinsdale.
Graeme Tindall spoke eloquently and movingly about his long friendship with Malc and Dave Tattersall led the tributes for Phil.
Plenty of anecdotes and stories were shared before the lads as one raised a glass in their memories.

Unfortunately there was no outdoor rugby to watch as the home games at Littlemoor were waterlogged off. But the England game on TV made up for it and the tall tales continued well into the evening.

Looking forward to next years event already!
