We are deeply saddened to hear the passing of Rob Freeman, aged just 53. Rob was the owner of club sponsor Malvern Tyres and has been a partner with Old Cryptians for many years.

His generosity and passion for rugby has provided the opportunity for hundreds of players to pull on an Old Cryptians jersey, including his son Joe. He has been instrumental to the club’s successes and we would not be in the position we are today without his backing.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in what must be a very difficult time.

God Bless His Soul
