“Specific quotes were also hung on each player’s
peg in the changing room to motivate them before
the match. The club have also dedicated a room in
the club house to Rhys.”
Money raised on the day will go to a fund in
Rhys’s name and to research investigating the illness
that caused his death.
Rhys’s sister Rhiannon said: “We were all
completely overwhelmed by everything that had
been arranged to make the day so special – not just
in Rhys’s memory, but also for us as a family.
“We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to the
local businesses and individuals who so readily
donated gifts for the raffle and auction.
“Their generosity was incredible and helped to
raise an absolutely staggering £9,202.75. This
phenomenal amount of money will make a big
difference to the fund set up in Rhys’s name and will
go towards research into what took his life.
“The family would like to say a very special
thank you to Darren Robinson, Lee and Hayley
Jennings, Llantwit Major AFC committee members,
and all players past and present for making the day
so very special. A photograph of RAF St Athan engineers working on Gloster Meteors, the first RAF
