Lymm RFC is mourning the death of one of its former Presidents and long serving member, Keith Etherington who died on March 1st. A popular member of the Cheshire club, Keith will also be remembered as a highly regarded and popular referee.

Keith was a gentleman in every sense of the word with a huge appetite and enthusiasm for the game of rugby. His knowledge and experience earned him huge respect, not only throughout his own club and Cheshire, but in Northern rugby; witty and candid, Keith’s opinions were widely sought and valued.

Such a character is going to be missed by everyone who was fortunate to come into contact with him and certainly the clubhouse at Beechwood will not be the same without Keith Etherington.

Our condolences are extended to all Keith’s family at this sad time. The funeral will take place at Altrincham Crematorium (Dunham) on Friday March 12th at 3.00 pm., further details can be obtained from Lymm’s web site.
