So sad and shocked to hear of Phil Kernan passing away.

Phil played for Corsham RFC and Bath RFC before joining Combe Down.

He was a valuable member of the club in some of our most successful periods.

A very steady and reliable fullbaclk who rarely dropped the ball and always had an eye to attack.

Phil was a training partner of scrum half Richard Hill whilst at Bath and I'm sure catching all those passes and box kicks made playing for Combe Down easy for him.

Our thoughts and condolences go to Phil's family and he will be missed and long rembered at the club by us all
