The Club is pleased to announce that this year’s recipient of the Scott-Smith Boot, a trophy kindly donated by the Scott-Smith family to be awarded to a Club member, who has done something special during the year, is Harry Sharp (seen here being presented with the boot by GRFC's IPP,Malcolm Stokoe).

Harry does a great deal of unseen jobs (particularly with the ongoing floodlight problems) for the Club and is our main link between Druid Park and Kingston Park. However, Harry has surpassed all those issues recently.

In November/December, he took part in the Everest Trek – involving a climb to 18000+ feet up Kala Pattar (the Black Mountain) in the Himalayas! Not only did he complete this, but lead from the front, leaving all his younger colleagues in his wake. The adventure was, however, not just for fun.

His main purpose was to raise much needed funds for Action Medical Research, for children for life – a charity for premature births in the UK. Harry raised £7000 – testimony for his excellent reputation, especially in rugby circles. This was a  truly tremendous effort and fully deserving of the Club’s recognition.
