Dumfries man who died playing rugby remembered with special charity match

A Dumfries man who died while playing rugby in Ireland has been remembered at a charity match in Edinburgh.

Teams from the Scottish and Irish parliaments faced each other in the first annual David Hill Memorial Quaich on Saturday.

It was followed by a fundraising dinner in the city attended by Holyrood’s presiding officer, Alison Johnstone, as well as the Scottish Rugby Union President Colin Rigby, and several parliamentarians from both Scotland and Ireland, many of whom played with and knew David.
