CROWDS of Cardiff Blues fans attended a charity fundraising event hosted by Wessex Garages’ dealership in the city for an opportunity to meet players from the team.
The exciting event raised more than £1,000 for Tŷ Hafan children’s hospice – the dealership’s charity of the year.
It featured players including Alex Cuthbert, Rhys Patchell, Adam Jones and Jarrod Hoeata and was compered by Rick O’Shea from BBC Scrum V.
The rugby stars took time to answer questions, sign autographs and pose for photographs before a raffle gave fans the chance to win a signed personalised shirt, signed rugby ball and a Blues season ticket.
