Sadly we lost another great supporter of our club yesterday (Saturday 6th) when Terry Ellis passed away.

Terry joined Stortford in the early 70's having relocated to the area. He had previously played for both Harlequins & Westcliff.

He was a tenacious wing forward and represented us in every Stortford team 1st to 6ths at one point or another.

His two sons Steve & David also went onto play 1st XV rugby for us.

When he finally retied from playing in the mid 80's, Terry became our club fixture secretary, a role that he held right up until the 2019 /20 season.

He was a keen golfer and a member of our 'Stags' golf fraternity.

His health had noticeably declined in the last 18 months but until that time he rarely missed a 1st XV match Home or Away and indeed would often travel to watch the Colts in National Cup matches and some of our Ladies games

He was also an ever present whenever we held Summer works parties always willing to do his bit either freshening up the paintwork inside the clubhouse or clearing up outside.

He was a wonderful character and another who's absence will be greatly missed pitch side & in the clubhouse upon our return to playing.

We would like to send our sincere condolences to his children Steve, David, Debbie and their families.

If anyone wishes to make a donation in memory of Terry, Steve, David & Debbie would like this to support the recent BSRFC President’s Charity “VetRun180'
