A minute’s applause will be held across the country today following the tragic news of UWE rugby player Maddy Lawrence’s death.
The rugby community is pulling together in support of her family, and in memory of Maddy, to pay tribute after she died in hospital on March 25 following an injury in a rugby match.
The 20-year-old university rugby player was taken to hospital with an injury sustained during a game against the University of Bristol on March 7. The injury at the time was not seen to be life threatening, however a bacterial infection left her having “life-saving surgeries every day” in intensive care.
