Mike Poole R.I.P.
A larger than life character, who gave his all for Newent RFC, he will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

John - lovingly known to everyone involved with the club as “The General” will be greatly missed by all.
The recent success that the club have enjoyed is due in large part to the tireless hard work that Mike and John put in behind the scenes.
The link below is to a video made in the run up to Newents second visit to Twickenham. It shows the love that both gents had for their club.

I played with Mike for several seasons in the late 70s and early 80s and he was a real character and totally committed to the Newent cause and the upcoming youngsters in the club. The YouTube video shows clearly their love for the club.
What local grass roots rugby was (and hopefully, still is) about.

I played in the front row with Mike whilst I was a youngster ( early 1980) and he was apparently passed it.
I learnt and witnessed an awful lot in a short period of time.
An absolute legend of the game and of Newents history! He will be sadly missed by many.
