Emmett was a popular lad as a kid and [represented] the club at every youth level before turning into a gentleman as an adult. A great player but an even better person - he will be saving others through organ donation.
"Everyone within Willowbank from the committeee, coaches, players, ex players and supporters would like to express their condolences to his family, friends & anyone who knew Emmett. We know this will impact members within our club so please help each other out over the next days/weeks. Although Emmett has passed far too early, we are lucky enough to have some amazing memories for life. We encourage any of members to wear Willowbank attire when attending Emmetts funeral as a token of respect. Once a bank man, always a bank man."
