Under 14’s to Play in Memory of Local Boy.

March 26, 2025

In memory of Jibraan Chaudhary, Romsey Rugby Club U14s will take on Embley U14s on Friday 25th April at Romsey RFC’s home ground, Ganger Farm, Romsey.

18-year-old Jibraan passed away in November 2024 from sepsis associated with the treatment of his leukemia. The shocking loss of this amazing young man, who was due to start university in September, has left us all devastated and desperate to support his family in their mission to fund research to help increase survival rates of cancer-associated sepsis.

Jibraan was a Sixth Form student at Embley and many of our under 14’s are friends of Jibraan’s younger brother. Romsey player, William, came up with the idea of a charity match and the whole team who include students from local schools in Romsey, Salisbury and Southampton have embraced the idea to support Jibraan’s family in raising money for the sepsis research foundation set-up in his memory.

Romsey RFC and Embley Park school have worked together to organise the game with Embley putting together their own line-up to face the Romsey boys.

When and Where

The match takes place at Romsey’s home ground, Ganger Farm on Friday 25th April, kicking off at 5.30pm. Tickets for the charity game (by voluntary donation), raffle tickets and donations can be made here.  The rugby inflatable and hot food and drinks will be available in the clubhouse from 4pm.
