2024

2024, a year of mixed emotions.

 

In August, we lost someone very dear to us. A wonderful Son, Brother, Boyfriend, Grandson, Friend and team mate. Stringer fought to the very end with enormous courage and dignity. From a young age, it was evident the special talent he had and he will be forever remembered as one of the greatest ever to don the black and amber. Our hearts are broke but we are all the better for having had Caolan in our lives. Caolan’s memory will be eternal, an inspiration to our younger Rangers. We miss you Stringer.
