Phil Selwood
We are deeply saddened to share the news that Phil Selwood, long-time member of Sevenoaks Rugby Club, passed away on 6th December 2025.
Phil was a big part of the Sevenoaks community and particularly the SRFC community over the years. Starting at the Club when he was just 5, he rose to become a key player in the Academy, then under the leadership of Larry Coleman, before progressing into senior rugby until he moved out of the area. Phil will also be well-known to many members and their families for helping Bat & Ball Sports in the Club Shop, where he was always a warm and familiar face, with a great sense of humour.
Phil (know by some as Woody) went to Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys.
He went on to work on the RNLI lifeboat at Portishead and more recently for the Bristol Ambulance Service, as an Emergency First Responder. He is pictured receiving his RNLI service award.
He will be truly missed by all who knew him.
Phil’s funeral will be at the Tunbridge Wells Crematorium at 13.00 on Tuesday 13 January, with a celebration of Phil’s life at the Club afterwards.
