Its with great sadness that I have to report to you that a former TWF regular ThunderChicken9 passed away on the 23rd April 2022.
He was on the Rugby field playing for his beloved Northern Colorado Flamingos. He collapsed, and his teammates performed CPR until Paramedics arrived but he passed away.
For the past 10 years Cam has been my best friend.
Sorry - I should add more. TBH - Im struggling at the moment.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Very sad news. He came across as a great fella. Play on Thunderchook.

He was a good man and embodied the International brotherhood of Rugby.
While Cam lived on the other side of the planet, he was as passionate a Force supporter as you would find on match day at the ground.
Though tragic in its timing, if he had to go, somehow it seems appropriate that he left us on the field.
Thunderchook will be missed by all he came across.
RIP Cam![]()
