Gabby, wife of Phil and mother to Cheltenham players Matt, Stefan and Ryan, put up the greatest fight against ovarian cancer, a fight which inspired those around her. Just recently she was at a place she loved, Farm Rd Cheltenham, watching her sons and their team mates in action wearing teal socks and ribbons in tribute to her struggle. Gab was a long time member of Cheltenham Baseball Club and a very active member in both Summer and Winter sections of the club.
