It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that we have to announce the sudden passing of Tom Owen yesterday, Monday January 30th 2017, aged just twenty one.

A player and friend of this club since junior school Tom represented the club at all age levels culminating in appearances for the first team and development squad.

Known for his wicked sense of humour and commitment to his fellow players and friends, Tom will be sorely missed.

Tom Owen is one of us, one of our own, who was Green & Gold to the core and taken from us too early.

There is a feeling of devastating emptiness amongst us following this tragedy and all at the club offer their deepest condolences to his parents Martin and Kim, sister Katie and the rest of the family.

Tom cannot be replaced.

He is one of us.

Rest in Peace Tom Owen.
