Hog roast at rugby tournament raises £350 - 14/4/10

Published: 14 April, 2010

A hog roast was a much welcome addition to the annual Plymouth College Sevens tournament.  Not only did it provide delicious sustenance to players and supporters, it also raised £350 for two good causes - Help for Heroes and Max Levene, a rugby player from Truro School who was badly injured in a match last year.

The tournament, which has been running for 39 years, saw 160 students participating in three age range competitions.  

"I am delighted that we were able to raise so much for two very good causes", said Plymouth College Head of Rugby, Richard Edwards.  "The hog roast was very popular and I am very grateful for the generosity and support we received from players, parents and schools.  We hope to repeat the fund-raising initiative next year when the Sevens Tournament celebrates its 40th anniversary."
