“Yesterday was the final farewell to our legendary groundsman John Hill.
At a packed Shobrooke Church we heard wonderful stories of the “country man” that John was born to be and how he touched so many people.
Fittingly the sun shone and the privilege to bear John on his final journey was extended to TCC with Paul Jordan; Charles Kislingbury; Jock Spry; Roger Gratton; Bob Rice and George Greed having the honour to bear Hilly to and from the Church.
The club was very well represented with attendance from all sections, players and supporters alike reflecting the affection and respect held for John. He will be sorely missed but long remembered.”
