I was saddened by the passing of a real Riverton Rugby Legend. Henry was always good for a yarn and a laugh whenever you met him, and in later years he loved sitting in the grandstand checking out the talent of the Riverton teams. Thinking of all Henry's family at this sad time - RIP Henry Terry O'Meara Drummond
