    Harrogate Railway Athletic Football Club is organising a rugby match in which the players wear prom dresses to raise money for charity.

    The club is fundraising in support of former Leeds Rhinos rugby league player Rob Burrow, who has motor neurone disease.

    It has already raised £6,200 but would like to achieve £7,000 to match the number 7 Rob wore on his team shirt.

    Anne Mitchell, the clubhouse manager, came up with the idea as a finale to the charity walks the club has done for the MND Association.

    She said:

    "One of the most exciting things is the team names — the sugar plum fairies and the nutcrackers".


    Rob Burrow, who has been raising money for the MND Association since his diagnosis, is supporting the event:
