A student from Bingley who was killed in a motorcycle accident has been honoured by his former rugby club.

Old Emanuel Rugby Club launched the Graham Robinson Memorial 7s competition in memory of the second row player who died in February.

Graham was playing for the club's third team while a student of motorcycle engineering at Kingston University, Surrey, when the accident happened.

Club coach Fergus McCarthy said the well-liked player's name will live on for many years.

"He was an extremely popular guy. That's why the club and Kingston University have set up the annual event."

Fergus said the side retired the number four shirt Graham played in for the rest of the season in memory of their ex-team mate.

"There was many a tear shed when we heard the news about Graham. The players were really upset," said Fergus.

"As soon as someone mooted holding a competition for him it quickly came together."

The first Graham Robinson Memorial 7s competition was held in April. His parents, Michael and Dawn, of Balfour Street, Bingley, and brother, Andrew, were guests and presented the Graham Robinson cup, bowl and plate.

An inquest heard last week that Graham died after his motorcycle crashed into a Jaguar car on a dimly-lit road in the Elmbridge area on February 2.

Woking Coroners' Court was told Graham was riding his motorcycle along the A3 between the village of Oxshott and Painshill when he had to brake hard.

Graham and university friend Robert Theopolis, who was riding on the back, skidded into the central reservation.

Robert came off the bike but Graham stayed on and landed in the path of an oncoming gold-coloured Jaguar when he was hit.

The accident happened at 5.43pm. A collision investigator visited the scene 20 minutes later and said the road was in good condition but was dimly lit.

The court heard: "All the drivers I spoke to at the scene described it as being dark at the time of the accident.

"There was no evidence that he had hit a vehicle before he started to skid and no conclusive proof as to why he applied the brakes in the first place.

"But he may have been riding too close to the vehicle in front and had to brake suddenly."

The coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death and said the accident had happened on a poorly lit area of the A3.

Graham's parents said their son had passed his motorbike test four years earlier and felt comfortable on a bike.
