Changing room chat: Warriors fans dig deep for Yorkhill
The Foundation, an official Warriors charity partner, saw their logo displayed on all 23 Glasgow match jerseys for the game, with five of the shirts then used to encourage donations via a variety of auctions and raffles. The top worn by lock Tom Ryder was raffled, a post-match bucket collection taking the sum raised in these areas to over £2,300. In excess of £800 was raised in the Warriors hospitality section, where the shirts worn by Al Kellock, Chris Cusiter and Duncan Weir were auctioned. The jersey that attracted the highest bid was Stuart Hogg’s No 15, which drew an offer of £350 on an online auction.
Head coach Sean Lineen said: “It’s fantastic to hear that the Warriors supporters have got behind this great cause and raised a really impressive sum.”
