British and Irish Lions colossus Willie John McBride has issued a rallying call to rugby fans across the Province to snap up the final few tickets for the Oliver Turkington Memorial Dinner, which will take place next Saturday (13th September) at Coleraine Inst.
The event is being organised to mark 25 years since CAI became the first Irish school to play rugby in Japan, and to celebrate the life of Moira man Oliver Turkington, the stand-out player on the four-match tour, who died in 2007 after a long battle with cancer.
Willie John, capped 17-times by the Lions including four as skipper of the 1974 ‘Invincibles’ in South Africa, will be principal speaker on an action-packed night hosted by popular local comedy duo Grimes and McKee.
