CREDITON Rugby Club has donated £360 to the local cancer care charity, FORCE.

Chair Liz Goodman, said that the money was the result of a draw following a recent game.

Before the presentation Liz thanked the Devon President Paul Harris and his wife Hilary.

She said: “Although in his Devon green blazer, Paul will always be one of us.  His Kirton roots run deep and his rugby knowledge even deeper.

“Retirement sees him filling his time writing brilliant insets in our programmes and his detailed press reports for the ‘Crediton Courier’ and history books.

“He is simply a font of knowledge and a huge support.”

She added: We are very blessed at Crediton Rugby Club to have coaches and admin support who work so hard to build this club into the excellent community club we are.

“We have a membership of over 500 spread across 19 teams.

“We would not be the successful club we are without the huge team of volunteers who put so much in and it’s fabulous to end the season with some amazing achievement across the club.

“My personal thanks go to everyone involved.”
