Keith Ford, who has run matches on the Beauchamp Arms for over 20 years collapsed and tragically died on the bank side this morning. Despite the Air Ambulance crew and paramedics trying to revive him he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Keith leaves a wife and adult children and will be sadly missed by all the anglers who have attended his matches over the years. The match was cancelled and the pools money will be given to his wife to give to any charity of her choice.
