It is with profound sadness that everyone at Bristol Harlequins RFC shares the news of the passing of Keith 'Archie' Clark, a former club captain and chairperson who embodied everything our club stands for.

Archie’s impact on Bristol Harlequins cannot be overstated. On the field, he was a leader who played with heart, commitment and pride in the Blue, Black and White. Off the field, he gave countless hours to the club, ensuring its growth and fostering the welcoming, family spirit that defines Quins to this day.

Anyone who visited our clubhouse on matchdays will remember Archie’s ever-present smile as he served a beer, shared a story, and made every player, supporter and visitor feel part of our rugby family. His presence will be deeply missed, and his legacy will live on in the walls of our clubhouse and in the hearts of all who knew him.

Funeral details will be announced in due course.

The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Bristol Harlequins RFC go out to Archie’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Blue Black and White Forever. Rest easy, Archie.
