Tuesday we heard the sad news that Saturday and Sunday Reserves captain Mike Cole had lost his battle with skin cancer at the age of 37. He was immensely popular with not only his team mates but all who knew him at FOBG.
Thoughts are with everyone who knew and loved Coley. โค๐

- New installed defibrillator on a pitch-side container at Farrow Fields. This is a vital piece of kit; for every minute it takes for the defibrillator to reach someone and deliver a shock, their chances of survival reduce, so to have it right next to the pitch could be crucial.
