A Leeds Trinity student who died after a six month battle with cancer will be remembered by fellow peers in a charity ‘clash of the codes’ rugby match on Friday.
Matthew Huggett, from Essex, was just 21 when he died in December 2013 after being diagnosed with Metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, which prevented him from completing his sports journalism degree.
