The family of Maddy Lawrence, a 20-year-old UWE student who tragically died after picking up an injury while playing rugby, has spoken of their heartbreak after losing their "beautiful" girl.
Maddy was playing for the UWE women's second team against the University of Bristol when she was injured while being tackled on March 7. The injury was non-life-threatening but she developed a severe bacterial infection that was unable to be controlled.
Sadly on March 25 the 20-year-old winger, known as Twinkle Toes, passed away from the infection leaving her family and friends devastated.
