It is with great sadness that I report the death of a much respected former coach and volunteer Barry Wilkinson due to Covid 19 complications.

Barry assisted Eric Hughes for some years in team management and also assisted in coaching sessions at Wythenshawe Park. He eased off these duties when he developed a lung infection which troubled him for some considerable time.

Barry's daughters, Michelle and Lynne, competed for the Club for many years and Michelle was GB U20 international.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and associates.
