Sadly we heard earlier this week that Stuart Fulling had passed away following a short illness.

Stuart joined WBRFC in the mid 1980s and has been a stalwart of our coaching team ever since.

Initially starting off in the junior age groups with Glyn Parker, Stu coached virtually every section in the club, and was always ready to jump in and lend hand whenever a team needed extra help and support. He had an immense rugby knowledge which was utilized by both Dorset & Wilts and South West Rugby, for who he was a selector for many years.

 

 

Stuart and Sally had three sons Angus (Gus), Sam and Duncan, all of who played for the club at various stages in their careers and were all skillful players. Our thoughts are with Sally and the boys at this time.

The funeral is a private family cremation on Thursday 17 February, followed by a memorial service in St Barts RWB at 2pm, with refreshments back at the club at 3pm.
