It is with great sadness that we announce the death of long serving Exiles captain Tommy Cresswell.

Tommy captained a very strong Exiles side for 14 years from 1996 to 2009.

Tommy also served as Club Chairman from 2007 to 2009.

Always a character Tommy was full of life and mischief and will be fondly remembered by all who played with him.

His funeral service will be at 11:45am on Wednesday 5th March at Redditch Crematorium, followed by a reception at Studley Road Social Club.

May he rest in peace.

Please Note:  

Tom’s family are trying to raise money to cover the cost of Tom’s funeral, as the funeral plan they were paying into went bust a couple of months back and they got nothing from it, so are having to cover the costs of the funeral themselves.

If you would like to help with the cost please donate using the link below:

Please note this is an updated link as the previously advertised one was inadvertantly closed.
