RIP Phil Ounsley

Phil Ounsley, a former player, has died aged 56

We are sad to announce the death of former player Phil Ounsley who died following a heart attack whilst out climbing Pen-y-ghent.

Phil joined us in the mid 1990s having been recommended by Gary Dooley. He was a policeman from Huddersfield who mainly played in the backrow for the Cavaliers.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Funeral details will be posted when we receive them.

RIP Phil Ounsley.

Thanks to Gary Dooley, John Firth and Dave Grice for the information.
