IN just over two months’ time, the David Hill Memorial Match and dinner will celebrate the life of the rugby loving, 30-year old Holyrood parliamentary staffer, who passed away last March while playing rugby for Scottish Parliament RFC against Dáil and Seanad RFC (representing the Irish Parliament) at Donnybrook in Dublin due to a previously undiagnosed cardiac condition.
The upcoming fixture will be played at Peffermill, Edinburgh, on March 11th at 2.30pm and will be followed later that day by a fund-raising post-match dinner at the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel in the capital at 7 for 7.30pm.
All are welcome to attend the match on the day while the great news is that because so many people have rallied behind the dinner, it is already sold-out and will be attended by representatives from both parliaments and Scottish Rugby.
All proceeds from the dinner will go to Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) and the Murrayfield Injured Players Foundation.
