Ellie's Day 2025

Ellie's Day 2025

Mark Newson12 Sep - 07:32

Over £4000 raised for Sarcoma UK

Last Saturday saw the club host the 2nd annual Ellie’s Day, in memory of lifelong supporter Ellie Purton.

Th day started with our very own Desperados XV losing valiantly to the Essex Bishops 45-21, followed by our first team starting their Counties 2 league campaign with a hard fought 27-17 win over Whitham.

Whilst the rugby was great to watch, the most important part of the day was fundraising for Sarcoma UK.

A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, supporters, local community, volunteers, bar staff, raffle ticket buyers, cake makers, bouncy castle operators, burger flippers and more who helped make a great day and raise over £4000!

A true testament to the community spirit of rugby, and in particular our club! Up The D’s!
