Former British Lions and Ireland captain Willie John McBride will be the guest speaker at Wallingford’s Sportsman’s Dinner on Friday, October 30.

The legendary lock, who played in five Lions tours, earned 17 Test caps and was arguably the team’s most famous skipper, should prove a big draw for the event at the Hithercroft.

Tickets for a three-course meal, coffee and half a bottle of wine cost £40.

Tables of ten or individual spaces can be purchased by contacting chairman Jerry Walters on 07765 091359 or jerrywalters@btopenworld.com.
