Tony will be remembered particularly for his partnership with John Uzielli in the Halford Hewitt, providing an almost certain point in every match they played. He was extremely generous to all that new him, including providing accommodation for many years to those playing in the Brent Knoll Bowl at his home club, Burnham & Berrow

Tony Captained the OMGS 1974-75 and was President between 2013 and 2016. He first played in the Halford Hewitt in 1966 partnering Richard McClean, with the team reaching the semi-finals. His partnership with John Uzielli started in 1970 and they were in the winning team of 1972. Their partnership continued until 1984, reaching two more finals on the way, with two further appearances together in 1989 and 1990. They also played together in the winning Bernard Darwin team of 1988

Tony will be sorely missed
