A celebration of the life of Sophie Takara Ford 2005 - 2023

Paul Merison26 Nov 2023 - 20:59

Saturday 2nd December will be one of the saddest days of the Clubs 128 year history with the funeral of our young ladies player Sophie Ford.

All of the club games have been postponed to allow those that wish to attend but also so that the Club can have a respectful day of mourning and celebrate Sophie's life.

It was clearly evident that Sophie had a passion for hockey and South Saxons and she will be sorely missed by all our members.

An annual award will be established in her memory ‘The Sophie Ford Trophy for Young Player of the Year’ with the award criteria aligned to the attributes that Sophie brought to the club :
• enthusiasm for the sport
• team player
• skill
• determination
• club loyalty

Our sincere condolences to Jo and family, may our friendship and prayers help you through this difficult time.

Members please see the attachment below for details of the order of service and celebration of Sophie's life at Battle Abbey School. Please wear bright rainbow colours (no club shirts).

For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Sophie please see the donation link to her favourite charity the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary.
