Please see below the very sad news, just received, from Martyn Cooper at Banbury Chestnuts of the passing of Dai Evans.
It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Dai Evans last night. (6 June 2026).
Dai was a stalwart of the Chestnuts, having been a member for just over 38 years.
Dai was a big supporter of the club and its history. Dai was a committee member for countless years and was also an officer and Captain on many occasions.
Dai was a friend to many, including myself, and he will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts are with Carol and his family at this time.
Chris weller adds: Speaking personally, I played against Dai many times, and on or off the Green he was always a pleasure to meet , play against, and be in the company of after a game.
I completely echo Martyns comments.
Funeral arrangements will be added, when this is known.
