A MURDERED student will be remembered when the University of Bradford's two rugby clubs tonight play for a trophy in his memory.

The second annual Tony Ho Memorial Cup will be contested when the university's rugby league and union teams - Bradford Storm and Bradford Rams - clash in a cross-code match.

Mr Ho, 19, played for both clubs while studying chemistry and forensic science at the university. He was murdered in January 2010 during a robbery at his student digs in Great Horton.

Last year, about 200 people gathered for the game at Bradford Salem Rugby Club, which was won by rugby league side Storm.

Sam Butterworth, sports and societies officer at the university, said: "The clubs have done it annually for a few years but this is its second year as a big university event.

"Building on the success of last year we have made it a part of our whole Freshers' Week calendar, so hopefully we will have a lot more people there.

"Lots of people appreciate the attention we give it and that, almost five years on, his memory is still being celebrated on campus."

The fixture kicks off at 7pm at Bradford Salem Rugby Club, Shay Lane, and is open to the public. It is free to get in and the clubhouse bar will be open.
