Mark Turner and his wife Gail
took over Donald’s Menswear in
2016. They recently told us, “Our
Predecessor Donald Rooke had
supported the club for decades
previously and we wanted to
continue this.
My uncle Max Turner who was
involved with Devon RFU for many
years, is a great club stalwart and
my nephews Jack and Harry Taylor
are part of the clubs mini/junior
section. Okehampton is a very
well run club who do an incredible
amount of positive community work.
Best wishes to everyone for the
remainder of the season.”
“I play for Newton Abbott Ladies having started playing - Started playing rugby as a 16-year-old as a prop and now play
number 8. I hail from Okehampton and my partner David Crawford coaches our sons’ teams.
Both lads are products of the club’s system starting in U7s as well as playing in their primary school. Youth rugby is a great
producer of Senior rugby players. Conlead is in the U12s and Lachlann in the U14s and also plays for the Devon Development
squad. The boys were influenced by both parents and would go and watch me play. When the boys started playing for
Okehampton RFC they didn’t have a coach and so I stepped in with David and I splitting ourselves between our boy’s teams.
Enjoying the sport is very important but structure and discipline are essential. The attributes offered by the sport of rugby are
for life and this is spoken out of experience. Learning to win, lose and accept things as they are are important, however we
will learn more from our losses and difficulties.”
