Commemorative game at ground where Danny Jones suffered heart attack
London Skolars are to donate proceeds from their game against Keighley Cougars today to the Danny Jones defibrillator fund.
Jones was a Keighley Cougars and Wales international half-back who collapsed and died from an undiagnosed heart condition while playing at the Skolars last May.
Following his tragic death, his widow Lizzie Jones successfully campaigned for cardiac screening to become mandatory at every Kingstone Press Championship and League 1 club, as it already is in the First Utility Super League.
Earlier this year Lizzie joined forces with the RFL Benevolent Fund to raise money to create a fund that will provide assistance to hundreds of community clubs and junior teams across the country to purchase a defibrillator.
The Skolars will donate a percentage of their gate receipts from their match against Cougars this afternoon to the fund.
