Roy Bradley

29 June 2018

Roy, who was a very well-known and highly respected member of Stourbridge, joined the Club some 40 years ago. Roy joined to play tennis and with his strong left arm and fast movement proved a very difficult player to beat in the tennis singles leagues and club tournament. Roy then turned to squash which became his foremost sport and in which he excelled.

Roy played for Stourbridge for many years and ultimately, winning the National Veterans Singles Championship in his sixties. Later, Roy developed into a keen racketball player and regularly used the gym to enhance his mobility and strength.


Sadly, whilst playing a racketball match on Monday last Roy collapsed on court. Roy was immediately and quickly treated by qualified staff, Jon Hope and Darren Bradbury, to whom huge thanks must go. Paramedics soon arrived, and Roy was taken to New Cross Hospital for further treatment. Very sadly, Roy did not recover and died at the hospital on Thursday evening last, 21st June. 

Our deepest condolences go to Roy’s wife, his immediate family, other relatives and friends on this saddest of all occasions. 

A service will be held at St. Marys Church, Oldswinford on Monday 9th July 2018 at 3:15pm then at Stourbridge Tennis Club afterwards.
No flowers by request, any donations please will go to the Starlight & Chris Westwood Charity for Children, Via Wombourne Funeral Services ot the Charity box at Stourbridge Club.
