The club are saddened to hear of the passing of the Secretary of Hawks Walking Football Stewart Russell and former Women’s Team Manager Dick Semark.

Stewart was an integral part of the running of the Walking Football section, organising many events over the past ten years. Despite fighting a long illness, Stewart still found time to support the Walking Football Section.

Dick Semark was a previous manager of the Women’s team for five seasons between 2007 and 2012. Semark was the head of a successful team, which still sees players from the squad playing in the Women’s National League today.

Everyone at the club passes on their condolences to the families and close friends. Both Stewart and Dick will be sorely missed, and will be remembered at our game on Saturday against Basingstoke Town.
