Fans of both golf and rugby will be contributing to charity at a match this weekend (October 26th).<\/p>\n
Members at Mold Golf Club have teamed up to sponsor Mold Rugby Club's home fixtures against Rhyl in order to raise money for Help for Heroes, reports the Daily Post.<\/p>\n
As well as the sponsorship, there will also be a raffle and collections for the charity on the day, increasing the pot of cash created for the good cause.<\/p>\n
Captain of the golf club Roger Howes previously nominated Help for Heroes as the institution's charity of the year.<\/p>\n
His son Gareth, who is a marine, was involved in a road traffic accident in America last year in which he was hit by a large vehicle.<\/p>\n
Mr Howes explained the accident had a profound effect on everyone at the golf club as his son spent five weeks in hospital.<\/p>\n
"Help for Heroes is a wonderful charity, never did we think that Gareth would end up benefiting from it himself," he said.
