Important Announcement from LHJFC
It is with an extremely heavy heart and the deepest of sadness that we have to announce the tragic passing of Club Coach and Volunteer Kerry Coombes.
A good friend, committee member, coach, coach mentor at Lostock Hall Juniors FC and more importantly than all of this, a loving mum who couldnβt do enough for her family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and daughter, a passionate football fan and a player in two of our teams. She is currently being cared for by the amazing staff at Alder Hey Childrenβs Hospital.
The family have a special place in the hearts of all at LHJFC.
As well as Kerry being a volunteer at the club, along with her dad since 2012, her younger brother was a player, coach and referee at LHJFC.
Kerry was an influential figure on the club committee and for a period of time, was Lead Coach for our Tiny Tacklers (under 6s) and was the lead for our clubβs Youth Committee
She will be fondly remembered, greatly missed and will never be forgotten by our footballing family.
Every single volunteer and player at LHJFC will be praying for the recovery and healing of Kerryβs daughter in hospital and we send our deepest sympathies to Kerryβs family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
The Club Welfare Officer is supporting members of the club.
Rest In Peace Coach Kerry
Darryl Cartwright
Club Chairman
For and on behalf of LHJFC.
