RUGBY LEGEND COMING TO AYCLIFFE!

August 6th, 2012 Martin Walker Rugby, Sport 0 comments 0

EXCLUSIVE by Martin Walker

England rugby legend Rob Andrew MBE will visit Aycliffe Sports Club this weekend to help celebrate a fundraising testimonial match.

Aycliffe Rugby Club have organised the special game as a gesture to player-coach Bob Malvern, whose select XV will take part in a charity testimonial match to mark his retirement this Sunday (2pm kick-off).

And ex-England fly half Andrew, the current RFU director of operations and former Newcastle Falcons boss, has today agreed to show his face for the event.

Aycliffe RUFC are raising money for The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) and Aspire, supporting people with spinal injuries.

Andrew won 70 England caps (two as captain) during a distinguished playing career, with an international score tally of 396.

He will be at Aycliffe Sports Club from around 1pm on Sunday (12th August), with the charity match starting at 2pm.

The game will be followed by a charity raffle and a light meal. The bar will be open throughout.

To sponsor the game, or to donate raffle prizes, email [email protected]
