A MEMORIAL match to remember the life of 24-year-old Royal Artillery gunner Jack Mitchell took place on at Painswick Rugby Club on Saturday.

Jack played for Painswick RFC and had a great love and passion for rugby, his father Julian is club chairman.

A large crowd gathered at the club in memory of Jack and to support Painswick against local rivals Cainscross.

Cainscross ran out 27-24 winners in an incredibly tight contest that was a strong display of local rugby and a fitting celebration of Jack’s life.

There were also plenty of family activities such as a bouncy castle, slide, inflatable gladiators, music and a hog roast.

All proceeds taken from the day were donated to Rugby for Heroes.
