RIP Alice Wills

[David3030]

Sad news has come through today of the passing of a club legend in Alice Wills.

For those who do not know of Alice, she worked at the club for many years and was a driving force in the cheer squad.

I have no doubt that the club will wear black arm bands for one of the nicest ladies you could ever meet, may you rest in peace Alice, you were always a proud and passionate Tiger lady!

RIP, How old was she David?

 

[David3030]

Not 100% sure, I am sure she would have been in her 90s though.

You are correct there sir. And if memory serves me correctly, Alice was one of the founding members.

Story on the website. Now there's a supporter for you. Didn't know Alice but I'm sure she will be missed by many. Thoughts go out to family she has. Those who knew Alice please share any stories you have of her, Thanks in advance...

I sincerly hope the boys play with a lot of heart and fire on Friday night to honour Alice's memory and contribution to our club.

I don't care if we lose but after the weekend's display, nothing less than 100% effort will be acceptable.

Thank you for your contributions to our great club Alice. RIP.
