Memorial match for Ste Ransom

4:51pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

EAGLE Rugby Union Club will face Leigh in a pre-season friendly for the Ste Ransom Memorial Trophy at Thornton Road on Saturday at 3pm.

The match, in tribute to Ste Ransom who died during a clash between Eagle and Leigh in 2006, will follow a game between the Eagle and Leigh junior sections at 1.15pm.

There will be a barbecue, raffle and children’s entertainer, and any money raised from the event will be put back towards the development of youth rugby at Eagle, who have been involved in running rugby awareness sessions with primary schools and setting up a mini-rugby club on a Sunday morning.
