won  three  times  in  their  last  twelve  outings  with  three  draws  and  six
       defeats. However as we know with football results do not necessarily reflect
       performances and most recently the Kings held Truro and Gosport to 0-0
       draws losing narrowly to Dorchester and Swindon Supermarine 2-1. They
       are clearly difficult to score against and this promises to be a close and
       exciting game.

                                   ROGER BERRY
       The Club was very saddened to learn of the death of Director Roger Berry,
       who died on 6th April aged 78.
       Roger  was  a  native  of  Sherston  where  he  played  most  sports,  being
       particularly adept at cricket, representing the village team for several years
       as a batsman more known for his obdurate defence than attacking stroke
       play.
       Roger joined Redcliffe Inks as a laboratory assistant in 1962, and his strong
       work ethic saw him gradually work his way up to Managing Director with
       Sun Chemical Ltd, Flexible Packaging Division in the UK when he retired in
       2008.
       Roger had been a supporter of the Club since the mid '60's, being one of
       the original 500 Club members, and was also one of the original members
       of our Social Club when we started at Lodge Road. He was asked to become
       a Director when we became a Limited Company in 2011, and his abilities
       and business acumen helped us continue to make progress on and off the
       field.
       Roger enjoyed a varied social life,particularly appreciating fine wining and
       dining, Horse Racing and playing cards. He remained a great cricket fan,
       and enjoyed his annual three day visits to Test Matches with friends from
       the Club.
       He had not enjoyed the best of health for several years, and these health
       problems  led  him  to  shielding  throughout  the  pandemic.  Despite  these
       health issues, his sudden death came as a great shock to everyone.
       Roger  is  survived  by  his  wife  Jean,  daughter  Johanne  and  three
       grandchildren, and the Club sends our deepest condolences to his family.




       Yate  Town  Football  Club  is  very  grateful  to  Sue  Davies,  who  recently
       purchased a defibrilator for the Club. Sue purchased this in memory of her
       husband Bryan Davies, who died on Boxing Day 2020. Bryan, who was a
       Man Utd season ticket holder, had been a Sunday lunchtime regular in the
       Club for many years, particularly enjoying his weekly game of dominoes.
       We are very appreciative of Sue's generous gesture, and the defib will be a
       fitting reminder of Bryan.
