My grateful thanks to George Lancett for flagging up the sad news of the death of the former Prestigne St Andrews goalkeeper Stuart Ward.
Stuart kept goal for the club for a number of seasons in the mid-1980s and was part of the squad that won a Central Wales Senior Cup title when they beat Aberystwyth Town’s first team in the final.
Stuart was 56 and the Shropshire Star reported he passed away on 24 February, while his funeral took place today – Thursday, 15 March – at Shrewsbury crematorium.
Presteigne St Andrews FC extends its sympathy to Stuart’s family and friends.
