Saturday 12th August will see teams from around the region come together to raise money for Luke Bell, son of DMP 3rd XV Captain Mark “Tank” Bell, as he fights High Risk Neuroblastoma. Mowden Park will be hosting a Dawn ‘Til Dusk day of rugby to raise money for Luke, with local teams playing throughout the day in a series of games on the Arena pitch. The day will kick off at 8am, and culminate with a game between Tank’s DMP 3rd XV and visiting Newton Aycliffe.

All money raised will be split between Luke (to provide him with as many activities as possible to make his battle a bit easier), and North of England Children's Cancer Research charity, who have been funding research into childhood cancer in Newcastle upon Tyne for over 30 years - www.neccr.org.uk

More information, including a confirmed running order, will be published shortly. We’d like to thank the many clubs that have already pledged their support to the day, and any teams still looking to get involved should contact michael.birch@mowdenpark.com
