Wasps Legends Rugby Golf Classic 2024- Over £40,000 raised!

The Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation held their 7th ‘Wasps Legends Rugby Golf Classic’ in La Manga from the 6th - 9th June 2024.

Since its inception, the Wasps Legends Rugby Golf Classic has brought together Rugby and other sporting legends to play in a two-day golf tournament to raise money for charitable projects close to the hearts Wasps Legends community.

A competitive day one saw team ‘Sweet Caroline’ reign victorious, securing their place in the final. They were joined by joint day two winners, ‘The Ringers’ & ‘Team Wirral’! In a tense final, The Ringers, made up of Andy Murphy, Darren Freeman, Colin Jenins and Stan Jelinak, took home the spoils after an unforgettable long range put secured their victory - well done gents! Congratulations are also due to Kevin Linnane, Brendan Morrissey, Ben Morgan, John Wood, Fred Osborn, Paul Barrett, Ian Bosley, Pete Taylor and Keith Osgood, who each received a TaylorMade club for their closest to the pin efforts!

Our best celebrity showing on the course came from Guy Thompson on his Rugby Golf Classic debut! Our other celebrities, a mix of Wasps Legends and other legends of the game included Lee Mears, Leon Lloyd, Bryan Redpath, Matt Perry, Chris Bell, Hugo Southwell and Rob Lozowski. We were also pleased to welcome back football legend and former Liverpool striker, Neil Mellor.

The sporting stars entertained all of our teams, who were also treated to three charity dinners, which all contributed to the fundraising over the weekend, which raised over £40,000!

The money raised will benefit the Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation’s grant recipient charities which will be voted on later this year.

We would like to say an enormous thank you to our excellent sponsors Buzzacott, Red Industries, Artel Scaffolding, Skybound Services, MSR & David Spragg. Without your continued support, these events simply wouldn't be possible. We would also like to thank all of our generous prize donors, as well as our guests.
