The South West has learned, with sadness, of the death of former League Secretary Allan Townsend at the age of 89.

Allan died on Tuesday 8th November 2022. He retired as a SW Official in 2018 having served as a League Secretary for various leagues since 1990. Since stepping down he had continued to follow the workings of the SW from the touchline and was always prepared to offer the benefit of his vast experience if asked.

As a player he made nearly 200 appearances for Gloucester in the early 1960s as well as playing for Bournemouth, Frome and in Bath and Aldershot (during his national service).

The SW offers its condolences to his family and many friends.
