Founder member “Stretch” Jefferies has died.

We have just heard the sad news that Mike “Stretch” Jefferies passed away on April 6th after suffering from ill health for a couple of years.

"Stretch" was one of the founders of Thornbury Rugby Club and an original Thorns player who packed down for the first game versus Whitehall in September 1963.

He left the area in the late 1960's and played for Singapore. In retirement he and his wife June settled in Guernsey.

There will be a minute’s silence on Saturday prior to the First Team game with Old Redcliffians in memory of Mike.
