Chris Byron

It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of Chris Byron.

Chris was colts captain in 1979/80 under the Management of current Senior Vice President John Williams with the late, Lyn Morgan as coach. Chris's younger brother Andy played alongside him in the team but learned at a very young age he suffered from MS and died many years ago whilst still a young man. Chris went on to represent the Club at all levels as a hard working second row forward. His rugby career was cut short when tragedy struck the family again and Chris was also diagnosed with MS. He did not let this stop him from leading a full and fruitful life and for many years was a staunch supporter of the Club. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

We currently do not have any details or funeral arrangements but will forward these on in due course.
