Club Statement to Members & Supporters

It is with sadness, that we announce the unexpected passing of George Clunie on January 10, 2024.

George was a huge supporter of rugby and especially of the 1st XV team where he rightly proclaimed himself “biggest supporter.” He rarely missed a match, either home or away, often being the sole supporter traveling with the team on the bus. He would often watch the 2nd XV team and hoped to see the players here flourish as the Men’s squad moved forward. He also held the self-proclaimed title of the oldest Match Fixture and Referee Secretary.

Ever keen and brutally honest, his “words of wisdom” were worth listening to. He was optimistic and in praise of the 1st XV team following recent performances against Ross High & Whitecraigs; even complementing on the their tackling (which was the first time in years!).
Perthshire Rugby extends heartfelt condolences to Jenny, the family, and those close to George during this difficult time.

For now, remember George for who he was: a resolute & committed friend, and unwavering supporter of Perthshire Rugby.

Here’s to George – another whisky in his honour.

The funeral will be held on Wednesday 31st January 11.30am, Perth Crematorium.
Buffet to follow at Huntingtower Hotel afterwards.
To help the family with the numbers for the buffet, can PRFC members please let a committee member or Ewan MacKessack-Leitch know.
