Keith Board - "Mr Firebrand"

Messages sent to the Board family after Keiths passing.

It was through hockey that I first met Keith, when I was running teams for Somerset Schools. I very soon recognised Keiths qualities as a manager and persuaded him to run a team for Somerset Cricket Association.
I know that the boys who played under him for several years had very great respect and affection for him. He was a very rare being and we shall miss him.

Keith was a wonderful and loyal friend. I am eternally grateful for the support and encouragement he offered me throughout my time at Firebrands.
Keith generated an infectious commitment to the club, I will never forget his excitement and rare show of emotion when Firebrands finally achieved National League Status.
I will also remember with great fondness Keith’s wonderful sense of humour, I have many happy memories of being “gently ribbed” following yet another poor performance on the pitch.
