A rugby player has died after reportedly collapsing during a match.
The man in his 30s was a member of the Warrington-based Culcheth Eagles, who play in the fourth division of the North West Rugby League.
He was playing away at Runcorn ARLFC at Heath playing fields in Runcorn on Saturday.
In a statement yesterday, his club said:
Some of the Eagles' junior teams were due to take part in matches on Sunday, preceded by a minute's applause in honour of the player, whose name has not been released.
