Clive Drake - 1946-2024

(Clive Drake (right) pictured on his retirement with SW Chair Dave McAteer.)

The South West has learned with great sadness of the death of long serving League Secretary Clive Drake.  He was 78.

He served on the South West Competitions Committee for more than 20 years until his retirement in 2022.

He represented a number of leagues in Dorset & Wilts over the years and will be remembered for all the work he did to introduce lower teams into the leagues for the first time.

He was also a stalwart of his constituent body and North Dorset, his club, and was rewarded with the Presidency of Dorset & Wilts from 2009 to 2011 and latterly as a Life Vice President.

The South West sends it condolences to his family and many friends.
