In memory of Tom
In the early hours of Saturday 15th May my partner, Tom Benson, sadly passed away suddenly at the age of 29 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Tom had a great love for football, and especially loved playing for his team Clifton St. Vincent's (est. 1899) in the Bristol Downs Football League.
Because of this, myself and Tom's family feel that Tom would have liked any donations made in his name to go to his club.
“Tom's sense of loyalty, his fierce competitiveness and his team ethic shone through brightly, as he very quickly became a very popular member of our club.”
To reflect what Tom meant to the club, Clifton St. Vincent's have decided they would like to use the money raised to set up -
The Tom Benson Memorial Trophy, to be awarded annually for outstanding commitment to the club.
Any additional funds raised will be used to purchase team equipment.
