LAUNCESTON Rugby Club U16s have been raising money for their last tour as Juniors to Malta at the end of March by pulling a seven tonne tractor the length of a rugby pitch, 100 metres.

The boys have been collecting sponsorship in the form of a 'guess the time' competition with reference to how long moving the tractor would take.

The tractor was provided by E C Thomas of North Hill and in total the team raised nearly £1000.

The team has also been lucky enough to receive sponsorship from Matt Luxton 'Too Strong to be Wrong' and Castle Vets who are providing kit bags and T-shirts.
