More than £2,500 was raised for charity at the inaugural Robbie Stuart Memorial Match at Old Bristolians RFC.

Team-mates, friends and family did the late second-team captain proud as an Old Bristolians XV defeated the Robbie Stuart Select team by eight tries to two.

It was a physical match played in the manner energetic flanker Robbie, who died in November aged just 28 after battling leukaemia, would have wanted.

Money was raised by each player donating £50, a raffle, car washing, sponsorship from The Watch Hut and bar profits donated by Old Bristolians Sports Club.

All the money raised will go to cancer charity CLIC Sargent, which was the chosen cause of Robbie, who was also Bristol Rugby's mascot Brizzley Bear.

Robbie's dad, Malcolm Stuart, said: "The memorial game was a great tribute to Robbie. He would have been very proud of everyone's generosity and commitment."
