****2026 update. The 5th annual Geth’s Match was held in Cowbridge on 2nd May 2026. Geth’s friends from the area and further afield came together once again to play a football match to remember Geth, and raise more funds for Geth’s fund. After a thrilling 6-6 FT draw and 11-11 on penalties, the Blues beat the Reds on sudden death penalties! Man of the match and winner of the Geth “The Rock” memorial belt was Tom Jenkins for the Blues. This year’s match brought the funds running total to well over £11,000! Please continue to support Mind in the Vales important work in supporting people in the Vale with mental health. ****

Our much loved son, brother, nephew, great nephew, cousin, and friend Geth lost his battle with mental health issues on 8th May 2020 at the age of 31, leaving us all heartbroken and devastated.

After a very difficult 15 months during the Covid pandemic, we have found the strength to organise an event in Cowbridge on 14th August 2021 to celebrate his life with family and friends, play a game of football (his favourite sport), and launch Geth’s Fund, to help Mind in the Vale’s It Takes Balls to Talk campaign, to provide better suicide prevention support to men under 50 struggling with mental health issues. The fund has been launched with a donation from Geth’s estate. Please give generously if you can. Many thanks for your support.

Geth’s family and friends
