Passing of Niels Hvass (Tring)

Niels Hvass, Tring Rugby Club Life President, died earlier this month, having been in ill health for some time.

Niels ran the Tring Colts (U19) side for a number of years in the ‘80s as well as turning out for the 5th and occasional 6th teams. Club Chairman, John Ball described Niels as: “One of the most jovial, funny and caring men you will have met. Who would drive us to all the away games, took us for training, taught us how to behave ….. and taught us to drink some foul Danish liquor”

Niels was elected President of the club in 1998 a position in which he served until 2011. He will be well remembered by the Hertfordshire rugby community as a very welcoming host to Tring. We send our sympathy to his wife, his family and all at Tring.
