ON Boxing Day Salisbury Rugby Club hosted a crowd of present and former players and supporters, from the club and Bishop Worsdworth's school, for the annual match played in the memory of Rory Walworth.
Rory was a young player at the school and the club who died seven years ago in a tragic accident.
The club hosts the match every Boxing Day with help from the school. It has become an important occasion for old friends to gather, to play a game, and to celebrate Rory's memory. This year there was a great turnout of nearly 50 players, with a large crowd braving the elements to come and watch.
The match was played in good spirits, and was a full-blooded affair.
After the game there was a presentation in the clubhouse. Rory's sister Rosie thanked all the players and spectators for their support, and the club and the school for putting the game on. Bragging rights for this year are undecided as the game ended in a draw, with both teams scoring 34 points.
