Castletown FC announce death of former secretary

Chris Blackburn passes away

Former Castletown Football Club secretary and committee member Chris Blackburn has died.

The club posted the sad news on its Facebook page.

Chris was a committee member in the early to mid-2000s and he was responsible for bringing the club into the digital age with a website.

He was also involved in the Manx Football Forum long before Facebook was thought of.

The post says “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at the time. He will be missed by many within the town.  May he rest in peace.”
