A charity veterans rugby match will raise cash for a Silsden teenager badly hurt playing for his team.

The game, at Bradford Salem’s home ground, in Shay Lane, Heaton, at 7.30pm, on February 29, will feature some local sporting legends such as Robbie Hunter-Paul, Henry Paul and John Bentley.

The proceeds will go towards helping Nathan Cubitt, 16, who has been left in a wheelchair after he seriously injured his neck in an under-17 match on November 6.
