Dduw bendithia a chadw eich Tom

Although I had anticipated writing on this blog again I didn’t expect it would be under such terribly sad circumstances. I had hoped that the reports of Tom Maynard’s death circulating on Twitter in the early hours of the 18th of June were nothing more than the usual hoaxes and sick jokes that all too frequently surface on social network sites but, heartbreakingly, they turned out to be true. I’m not too sure there’s much I can really say on the subject, other than how deeply sad I feel for everyone who knew and loved Tom, especially his family and close friends. He made a huge impact in the year or so he was at Surrey, both with colleagues and with fans alike. Skilled, hard working and by all accounts a lovely man. If there had to be a eulogy so dreadfully early, this is one that was rightfully earned. RIP Tom, and thanks for the memories.
