A MEMORIAL match for the late Chris Cooper is being held at Mistley Rugby Club, on Sunday.
Cooper, known as Gnomey, was a stalwart of Mistley and previously Colchester and the contest will be between those sides, starting at 11am.
Mistley president William Meston said: “I’m very much looking forward to the game, as a fitting tribute to Chris.
“It will be a day of celebration and a thank you for all he achieved and did in the rugby world.
“We will also be raising money to enable a bench in his honour to be erected at the club’s ground.”
The match will take place at the Furze Hill playing fields, in Mistley.
