Ray was part of a West contingent who headed off to Canada in the late 1960's, which included George Green, Ken Wilkie and John Smith who are all also no longer with us. As a powerful centre he went on to play for Canada and his 1971 blazer for the Tour of Wales is among the memorabilia on show in the clubhouse.
Ray also played for Durham Under 15's, while his career saw him serve with the police in Bermuda followed by a teaching careeer in Vancouver. Thoughts are with wife Sylvia and Rob, Chris and Jenny.
