Thomas Froggatt (SH 03-10) Memorial Charity Rugby Match

The third annual Thomas Froggatt Memorial Match will take place at Egremont Rugby Union Club on Thursday 28th December.

This highly successful and immensely enjoyable event has quickly established itself as offering the perfect opportunity for a Christmas holiday gathering point for Old St Beghians. 

It is worth stressing however that the event is by no means limited to OSBs of Thomas' era, as some may believe, and we would love to see as broad a cross section as possible in attendance on the day.

The proceedings begin with the rugby match between an Egremont XV and an OSB XV, although a number of last year's attendees had a great time without seeing a moment of the on-field action!

Central to the day are the various charity collections and fund-raising activities, which have so far raised over three thousand pounds for the Calvert Trust, the charity of choice for the first two years. This is a testament to the extraordinary generosity of the OSBs as well as the Egremont club members, as all join to celebrate the festive season in fine style and for a wonderful cause - a truly appropriate way to remember Thomas.

Please note that Jonathan Garrod and Simon Edwards will once again be arranging the OSB XV and full details for all those who wish to play all or part of the match will be available on their Facebook pages a little closer to the time.
