Phil Petts

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of one of CRFC’s old boys, Phil Petts.

During the 1980s Phil was a staunch supporter of CRFC, serving on the Committee, Captaining the 3rd XV and playing prop for the 1st XV – a proud occasion for Phil, being part of the 1982/83 winning team in Canterbury’s first floodlight tournament.  Rugby remained a lifelong passion for Phil, and on retiring from playing, he went on to support his local Whitstable Rugby Club.

Until his recent retirement, Phil’s profession as an Osteopath kept him in contact with local rugby players, young and old, many of whom shared his eternal dry wit.

Details of Phil’s funeral will be published when arrangements have been completed.
