Jonty became an OM’s first team regular whilst at Lady Manners School, and played for the club until he joined Notts RFC in 1968, going on to make 366 appearances for the Nottingham outfit. He eventually rose to captain the Three Counties, and played at prop in the Midland Counties XV which defeated the Australia touring side in 1976. Our thoughts go out to his family.

The funeral arrangements are as follows:

Wednesday 24th June
St Anne's Church, Over Haddon
Family internment at 11am
Followed by a Service of Thanksgiving at 12 noon.

Please wear Rugby Shirts rather than black.

A traditional rugby style 'wake' and celebration of John's life will be held at the Lathkill Hotel in Over Haddon after the service.

Parking will be signposted in the village as space is limited near the church.
