"She did this whilst Chris was moving through the Junior Section and continued for many years afterwards. She was a proud and strong supporter of Allan during his period as Chairman and President.
“She held the position of clubhouse manager until retiring a few years ago.“She was involved in many activities which go unnoticed by members, such as helping Presidents with pre-match lunches, helping with arrangements for the Charabancians away coaches, helping on the White Elephant stall at St. George's Day.”
Andrea was one of MRFC's most fervent of supporters and had rarely missed a 1st team game at home or away for many years according to the club.
