The passing of Ralph Cummings

Sun, 02 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

It is with sad feelings that we announce that Ralph Cummings passed away.
Ralph was a great supported of Broomball playing when ever he could, mostly at the southern rink at Noarlunga in net. On several occasions he also played at Thebarton mostly for the Isotopes, but filled in also for other teams when asked. Most remarkably he played with a pacemaker and warnings from his medical staff not to over do it.
Always wearing a cheerful disposition and keen with advice he supported SA Broomball even turning up just to watch when he couldn't play.
He will be missed - Ralph was 51.
