FOR JACK: there will be a minute's applause for Evesham's Jack Jeffrey on Friday night ahead of Worcester vs Bristol.
WORCESTER Warriors will pay tribute to Evesham's Jack Jeffery with a minute’s applause at Friday’s Gallagher Premiership match against Bristol Bears at Sixways.
Jack, 27, was injured in the process of scoring a try in last Saturday’s Midlands Two West South match at Berkswell & Balsall and he later died in Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry.
Warriors have sent letters of condolence to Jack’s family and to the Evesham club which are the many tributes that have been paid from across the rugby world.
At the family’s request to celebrate the life of Jack, a popular and highly-respected member of Evesham, the minute’s applause will take place immediately before kick-off on Friday.
