Players from Bradford & Bingley, Bradford Salem, Ilkley and North Ribblesdale are taking part in a Christchurch Earthquake and Japan Tsunami Appeal Charity Match on Easter Monday at Scarborough RUFC (3pm).

Billed as a Yorkshire XV v an International XV, the match is the centrepiece of an afternoon of rugby entertainment which kicks off at 1pm with a game between the Yorkshire Terriers’ touring team and a Coast XV.

A collection of players from the Southern Hemisphere who have been plying their trade in the Yorkshire leagues has been assembled under the management of former Bulls and Bees winger Tevita Vaikona.
