Everyone at BUFC would wish to convey their condolences to the McConnell family on the untimely death of Stanley. Many of the older players in the club had the honor of competing against Stanley in his Annalong days and while he rightly proved to be a formidable opponent he was always a true sportsman and gentleman and the local game will be all the poorer for his passing.
As a mark of respect, all fixtures at the weekend in the Newcastle League were cancelled so The Swifts had no game.
