Sad news to day of us losing Arthur Bunting. He played a big part for both our clubs and he played many a game at scrum half for you guys. A true gentleman
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
I had a friendly rivalry with Arthur through playing darts in the Holderness Thursday league. An absolute gentleman and dry wit banter. I recall a top of the table clash between the team I played for (Queens in Hedon) and Arthur's (Nags at Burstwick), and it came down to the last singles game - Arthur v Gav Miller. The banter was top drawer and Arthur (Mr 60) won the final leg and the title with a captains performance. Great memories of a top man.

A sad loss to the city and rugby league, condolences to his family and friends.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
