It is with deep sadness and regret that I have to inform you of the passing of Des Walsh this morning

It is with deep sadness and regret that I have to inform you of the passing of Des Walsh this morning in the early hours, 30th October 2018. Des started the mini and youth section at Beckenham and was youth Chariman for many years. He started the 200 club, which has raised a huge amount of money for the club. He's been a life long supporter of the teams and dedicated most of his leisure time to the development and evolution of BRFC. Des's committment to the mini's and youth has meant a flourishing club with most of our 1st XV players having come through the ranks. We owe Des a huge debt of gratitude for what he has done. He was a character and inspite of failing health over the years he was always happiest watching his beloved team playing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jackie, his family and many many friends who will be feeling a deep sense of loss.
Funeral details will follow shortly.

Mick O'Rourke
President
