Tribute to club stalwart Bob Portch

It is with great sadness that I have to report the sad passing of Bob Portch.

Bob was a member of the club for many years, and served on the committee for a good number of those years.

He took a great interest in supporting the junior section of the club, and his two sons, Henry and Tom, both enjoyed great success in our junior teams. 

There was a lovely moment four years ago when Bob, playing for Bredon Veterans, was caught by Henry, who himself was caught by his dad in the same match.

Bob was a quiet, unassuming man who was always willing to help in any way required for the benefit of the club either by coaching, umpiring, scoring and any other task that needed doing.   

Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time. 

RIP Bob.
