This year we are introducing the legacy award for an amazing gentleman named John Hughes who sadly passed away on Thursday 13th October. John devoted his spare time over the last 30 years to coaching rugby and football in which resulted in the creation of FH Bulldogs with his son David. John’s aim was to provide children and young people a place where they could be safe, keep fit, learn team skills to carry them through life and be part of the Bulldog’s family.
The development of the home ground and clubhouse is his legacy. He made it his mission to give young people the power and motivation to be the future of the club. John worked tirelessly to achieve this and now. To this day he has accomplished his goal to Bulldogs sit at the heart of the community.
John’s legacy will be present within the community for many years to come with his work making a huge difference to peoples lives and we would like to acknowledge all his work with this award.
Keep an eye out on social media and our website this week to find out more about the winners that make a huge difference to your communities!
