Everyone at Darlington RFC is saddened at the news that a distinguished servant to the game of rugby, John Carling, has passed away.
A former player, County Referee and officer of Darlington RFC he was a man that truly "did it all" and the game of rugby is poorer without men like John. Our thoughts are with John's family and friends at this most difficult time.
We will post funeral details once they become available to us.
