Many families are still trying to recover from the floods of 6 months ago followed by the terrible school bus crash last week, now this. Gary was a very committed rugby league player who thought nothing of doing a shift on the family farm before turning out for Town and before that Haven. He was known as a tackling machine and was a role model for any budding RL player. RIP Gary and God Bless.
