Herbie Davies Honoured at Twickenham for Over 70 Years of Service to Somerset Rugby

In August, the iconic setting of Twickenham Stadium played host to a truly special moment for Somerset Rugby’s very own Herbie Davies. After more than 70 years of tireless dedication to the game, Herbie was presented with the RFU Volunteer Award, recognising his outstanding contributions to the Somerset County Rugby Football Union (SCRFU).

Herbie’s decades of service to the rugby community have been nothing short of remarkable. From his early days as a player to his enduring roles in coaching, administration, and volunteering, Herbie has been a steadfast pillar in the county’s rugby scene. His passion and commitment have touched countless lives, and this prestigious recognition from the RFU is a testament to his unwavering dedication to the sport.

Herbie’s visit to Twickenham was a fitting celebration of his incredible journey. Surrounded by fellow volunteers and rugby legends, he received the RFU Volunteer Award in the grandeur of English rugby’s headquarters. It is fair to say that Herbie thoroughly enjoyed the occasion—a moment that was filled with pride, joy, and reflection on decades of meaningful service.

Congratulations, Herbie! Your contributions have shaped the very fabric of Somerset Rugby, and this award is a well-deserved recognition of your immense impact on the game and community. Here’s to many more years of Herbie Davies in the world of rugby!
