The 2023 TSF Rugby Match was certainly one of the highlights of the year.
It was incredibly emotional, but equally amazing, to see friends and ex-teammates from different stages in Ted’s life share the pitch together.
From putting on a great display of rugby in the heat to singing/dancing and sharing a drink together after the final whistle, the whole day encapsulated everything Ted was about.
A massive shout-out must go to the brave players - the day simply couldn’t have happened without you.
A special thanks must also be extended to everyone at Monmouth Rugby Club for their assistance in staging this annual rugby match which we hope will continue to grow and flourish in the future.
There are many others to thank, who all helped to make the day such a success. We appreciate all of you!
Finally, and most importantly, we want to thank the supporters who came down to watch and donated generously. Once again, we were blown away by the commitment and generosity shown by people, with some travelling the length of the UK and overseas to be in attendance.
On Saturday April 16th 2022 we put on our inaugural TSF Charity Rugby Match, and what a day it was.
We were blown away by the support and are thrilled to report we raised over £5,000 from the day.
First and foremost, a massive shout out to the brave players who put on a performance that Ted would be immensely proud of - the day simply couldn’t have happened without you. A special thanks must also be extended to everyone at Monmouth Rugby Football Club - Wales for their assistance in establishing this legacy and for staging what we hope to be the first of many successful TSF rugby matches in the future. There are so many others to thank, including referee Richard Deacy, Crabtree Catering, photographer Gareth Roberts, physios (Mike and Jess), St John Ambulance, volunteers and many more. We appreciate all of you!
From a great game of rugby, to singing/dancing and lots of laughter, the whole day encapsulated everything Ted was about and we know he would have loved every minute of it.
From everyone at the TSF, thank you. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event!
Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!
