The club held a special charity sports day on Saturday (29) to raise money for the trust created in the memory of the former Oakham RFC star known as ‘Tu,’ who died during a game in September last year - and to celebrate the club’s 70th anniversary.
Proceedings began with a game of touch rugby, followed by a football match between Wisbech Wildcats and Wisbech Town legend Jackie Gallagher’s Wisbech Town All Stars, which finished 2-2.
Ethan Garfoot and Jamie Parson netted for the Wildcats, while Brenden Bird and Paul Schafer scored for the All Stars.

A Wisbech President’s XV then took to the rugby pitch against a Cambridgeshire County Select XV, featuring players such as former Wisbech men Steve Drawbridge, Jethro Rawling and Andy Hoyles.
That game finished 42-8 in favour of the hosts, with Andy Hoyles taking the Wisbech Roundtable man-of-the-match title and Jim Story being named Stormport man-of-the-match.
The day was brought to a close by a performance from former Wisbech captain, Simon Rodgers.

“We are so grateful and proud of them.”
