After the huge success of the last three years, we have decided to re-run a day of charity rugby on good friday bank holiday. The last three years have raised £5000, £18,500 and £30,000 respectively for Help 4 Heroes and the Royal Marsden, this year we are aiming to raise over £35,000 in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
This year will be even bigger and even better!! The four teams will be Leeds, Bristol and Newcastle Universities as well as a select XV from yesteryear.
The fixtures will be Leeds v...s Bristol and Newcastle vs The Old boys
Having seen around 800 people come down to Richmond and enjoy the day last year, we are hoping to see this number rise to 1000+.
Last year Richmond Rugby Club looked after us extremely well, opening up all the facilities to both the players before the game and the spectators during and after the game. The facilities this year at Richmond will include full use of the stands; both games will be taking place on the main pitch - used for junior international games - this includes a live PA system, a scoreboard, and most importantly stands for you to watch the game from. Again the bar will be open before, during and after the game.
