Tributes have poured in for 20-year-old rugby player Maddy Lawrence, who died last week following injuries sustained during a match. Lawrence played as a winger for the University of West England, and tragically passed away last Friday.
The 20-year-old died in hospital and her team have since released a touching tribute paying their respects. In a statement released on Instagram, they wrote: “Celebrating the life of Maddy ‘Twinkle toes’ Lawrence who sadly left us too soon on the 25th March.
"Maddy exemplified what it means to be a UWE Women’s Rugby Player, ‘tackling’ every new skill with enthusiasm. She proudly represented our club both on and off the rugby pitch, growing into the sport and our rugby family.
