Melton RFC players and supporters toasted club members past at their annual fundraising match on Boxing Day.

The game was well supported by more than 40 players as an over 25s XV took on a team of their under 25s clubmates.

The charity Boxing Day clash was opened up in traditional fashion with a glass of port to remember past players.

On the field, club captain Marcus Badham crossed for the winning try for the over 25s with the last phase of play, while young Jay Greaves had the honour of kicking the conversion for the seniors.
