I am very sorry to share the devastating news that former player and Director of Rugby, James Clarke, tragically passed away in Bermuda yesterday.

James moved there in September to take up the position of Rugby Operations Director at the Bermuda Rugby Football Union, following nearly 30 years at Finchley RFC, most recently as Director of Rugby.

James was instrumental in the development of rugby at our club and was much loved and respected.

We don't have any further information to share at this stage, but our thoughts are with James' family and friends at this most difficult time.

I’m sorry to bring you such upsetting news, I know that this will come as a shock to everyone.
