TELFORD, UK – Telford Tigers player Scott Mckenzie will be auctioning off his stick after the first game of the new season, to raise funds in memory of referee Dave Tottman who passed away recently. Mckenzie explained, “Dave was a referee I got to know quite well when I was in Chelmsford. When Dave passed away, I really hoped to make it to the funeral but unfortunately had to work. Now I want to try and raise as much money as possible in memory of Dave.”
“I found out from his family that Dave had two parrots and was a strong supporter of the National Parrot Sanctuary in Lincolnshire. The charity really mattered to him. “So I will be getting all the Tigers to sign my stick, and auctioning it off after the first home game of the season, on Sunday, to raise money for the charity in Dave’s name,” McKenzie added. “Dave was a really honest guy, genuine and never patronising. People might not realise how much respect the players generally have for the officials. Hopefully this will help to show how much we appreciate people like Dave.” Scott’s stick will be listed on eBay after the Tigers’ match on Sunday, September 18 More information about Telford Tigers can be found on the club’s website at http://www.telfordtigers.co.uk/
