Over 1,500 wonderful people came to support Niall's family and friends for the inaugural Niall Stringer Foundation #NS10 Memorial Day.
A wonderful and amazing young man was celebrated... and a stunning £30,000 was raised towards the foundation.
So many champagne moments, including Niall's little brother Charlie scoring the 1st try? When his Dad Phil was presented Niall's Old Brentwoods Rugby Club cap by Richard Juggler Austin ? Who knows?!
There are too many thanks to give on here, but special mention has to go to Phil Stringer, Gary Christopher, Stefano Aylott, Mark Ellitt, Rob Jupp, Kevin Curry & their families for the exceptional graft that went into putting together such a first class day.
A huge thank you as well to the dozens of volunteers, players, helpers, people who donated, Billericay RFC and Andy Cappaert for coaching the Essex Baa Baa's. And to Lee Amman and Charlie Raymond Snr taking care of our Colts.
To our referees on the day: Christophe Ridley, Steven Green and James Savage
To Jageto Embroidery & Print for the beautiful NS10 pink polo shirts... to Jonny Janes for his auctioneering skills... to Russ Shepherd Photography for the photography... to Giles Hilton & Shepherd Neame for helping with the marquee… To Braintree Rugby Club for their inflatable…
Please do keep those donations piling in.
And those messages of support to Niall's family and friends.
And maybe every now and again - wear pink!!
One of the quotes of what was such a remarkable day came from GC, “It’s all for you, Niall.” Well said Gary.
Rest in Peace Niall
