The majority of the Magpies players have physical and mental learning difficulties, and face challenges every day that most people don't understand.

On April 13, the Magpies played a fundraising friendly against Heath RUFC, who have been helping with the fundraising by holding raffles and bucket collections.

All monies raised will be used towards travel, accommodation, equipment and insurance for around 30 players of mixed ability and able-bodied facilitators, carers and support staff.

The team is looking for any businesses or groups that would be happy to support them.
