Sad News has reached the club that founding member and Vice President John Hammond passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's in September 2023.
He joined the club before the 1st of September 1951 making him one of the founding members of the club. Making his debut against R.E Marchwood that season. He played normally in the front row, but also had a strong boot on him taking the conversions and penalty kicks. His final game for the 1's was in the 1964/65 season, making over 200 appearances in that time. He continued to play for Havant (Dolphins) into the late 60's before moving away from the area. He was made Vice President for his efforts on and off the field.
Havant Rugby send our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.
