Des you were more than a coach to those who played in your team and especially to those of us from Syndal. I just want to thank you for all the wonderful memories and great talks, some were even serious, that we shared. I was one of the lucky ones to have played for two of your softball loves, Syndal and Chas. Cheers Des!
Will always be remembered and never forgotten. RIP Des

Dear Des,
You were a huge presence at Syndal and contributed so much as a coach at this club. I was certainly one of the players who benefited greatly from your coaching, and remember my time in your teams and at Syndal with great fondness. Rest in peace…..
