New Milton Rugby Club is set to end its season with a special match to raise funds for a club stalwart currently battling cancer.

The 'Over 35s versus Under 35s' game will be played in honour of David Gill, a former chairman who is also fighting untreatable Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH).

New Milton Rugby Club's 'Daddy Gill Cup Game' is scheduled for 2.30pm on Saturday, April 26.

The day will feature "superb" BBQ ribs, a bar, refreshments, a raffle, an auction, and live music from a Chris Stapleton tribute act at 5pm.
