Howard Webb to ref Alexander's memorial match

Howard Webb will referee as family and friends gather to remember Alexander Albiston, who died in March 2010 aged 18.

The game kicks-off at 3.45pm at Wickersley School, where Alexander scored five top A-levels while battling his rare bone cancer.

Spectators will be given a Teenage Cancer Trust wristband in return for donations to the charity.

A Pink Party will be held at the Wickersley Old Village Cricket Club the following night .

The only rule for attending the disco and karaoke night in aid of the Bone Cancer Research Trust is wearing an item of pink clothing.

Dad Tim (48) said: “To date, more than £31,000 has been raised in Alexander’s memory to support the two trusts.

“Hopefully, both of these events will see a lot more money raised for these very worthwhile causes.”
