The club would like to send its deepest condolences to the family and friends of former Carmarthen Quins RFC player John Cavanagh.
John played mainly as a Number 8 for the Quins 1st XV making over 200 appearances between 1951 and 1958.
He was a stalwart of the Quins 1st XV in the 1950s and made the shortlist for the number 8 position in the Dream Team 1950 – 2000.
Born in Gravesend Kent on August 4, 1933, John moved to Carmarthen and was educated at St. Mary’s RC Primary School and QE Grammar School for Boys where his rugby career started. After leaving school, he played for Carmarthen Athletic RFC before going on to represent Carmarthen Quins.
