Concordia-McGill to play rugby in honor of late Stinger
The Concordia Stingers and the McGill Martlets will play the inaugural Kelly-Anne Drummond Cup game on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at Concordia Stadium.
The game will be symbolic of women' university rugby supremacy in Montreal and pay tribute to Kelly-Anne, who died on Oct. 4, 2004. Her boyfriend has been charged with second-degree murder and is awaiting trial.
Drummond was a member of the Stingers women's rugby team from 1999 through 2001. A front row player, she was respected by her teammates for her commitment to the game and her work ethic. She also charmed her many friends with her inquisitiveness and fun-loving approach to life. She graduated from Concordia University with a major in Communications in 2002.
A moment of silence will be observed before the game. Afterwards Doreen Haddad will present the Cup that bears her daughter's name to the captains of the winning team.
There is no charge to attend the game. However, donations of cash, clothes and toys for the West Island Women's Shelter would be appreciated.
