Sandy Butler

Iconic former captain has passed away after a short illness

We are very sad to share the news of the passing of Sandy Butler on Friday 11th April 2025 after a short illness. Sandy was a huge part of our club for many years as a player and was also club captain for a significant period. He was also a player and a captain for our near neighbours in Scotland at Langholm RFC. His long playing career only came to an end when he was around 50 and his exploits both on and off the pitch will be long remembered by many of our members and former players.
Our condolences go out to his wife Jan and their four children, David, Kiyla, Ross and Tayna, their partners, and his 9 grand-children as well as the extended family for their loss. We remember with a smile a great character and a life well lived.
Funeral arrangements are still to be finalised; we will advise when these are confirmed.
