The Late R Brian Jones Penygroes

By Alun Foulkes

League suffers the loss of another League stalwart

The Gwynedd Football League is again reporting the sad news of the passing of its former and founder League Secretary, Mr R Brian Jones of Penygroes. Brian was appointed Secretary of the League way back in 1983 and held the position for 10 years, taking a back seat, but remained a Life Member to the present day. When Alun Foulkes decided to step down in 2000, Brian returned to the fold for the next 4-5 years to assist the League.Brian was one of the quiet men of football, very efficient and well respected in his work as a football administrator.

Brian had not been too well recently and sadly lost his fight when he passed away quietly last night in the presence of his wife Gill. Our sincere and deepest condolences are offered to Gill, his immediate family and close friends - another huge loss to the football world in North Wales.
