It is with great sadness that the club has to announce the passing of one of its most
outstanding players, Brian Dibben.
Brian, who played at wing forward for both Dorchester RFC and Dorset & Wilts, throughout
the 50’s and 60’s, possessed great strength and stamina and was a fearless and devastating
tackler.
The word ‘legend’ is often overused when describing a person but in Brian’s case it is
entirely appropriate.
The club extends their condolences to Brian’s family and friends on their loss and can
assure them that his contribution, both on and off the field, will always be held in the highest
regard.
May he rest in peace.
