It is with great sadness we have to report on the passing of Karen Norrie last week.

Karen was part of our U8s section, wife of our coach Sandy and the mother of Calum. She was also known to many of our community through her work at the village pre-school.

Karen lost a brave and courageous battle against cancer and will be missed by us all.

Our sympathies and thoughts are with Sandy, Calum and the rest of their family.

Karen's Funeral will be on Thursday 4th February at Darlington Crematorium at 1.15.

The family have requested no flowers and would prefer instead donations to St Teresa's Hospice (www.darlingtonhospice.org.uk).
