Randall and Purdy boost Churngold charity fundraiser

For every point scored by both Randall and Purdy since the restart, the Bristol-based civil engineering company, have donated £100 towards the hospital's bid to raise £750k for an advanced robotic digital microscope, used for advanced brain surgery.

Harry Randall’s remarkable score in the Challenge Cup final after just 15 seconds, together with his late consolation against Wasps in the Gallagher Premiership play-off semi-final have taken the total raised to £1,500, after Purdy’s try against Gloucester at the end of August had kicked things off.

OH MY WORD! That is how you start a European final @BristolBears 🤯

DO NOT kick the ball to Semi Radradra, you have been warned!

Andrew Brown, Churngold Managing Director, said: “Congratulations to both Churngold sponsored players, Harry Randall and Henry Purdy for helping us to raise much need funds for the brain tumour surgery equipment at Southmead Hospital.

“At £100 for each point scored from when the season restarted, the guys have raised £1500 by scoring three tries. However, as we are sure they would have scored more tries had they played Exeter this weekend, we will raise it to £2000 for such a worthy cause.

“Thanks to all the Bears for a great season. Each try is great, but Harry’s try after 15 seconds in the European Challenge Cup Final was extra special and had us jumping about and cheering like mad things.”
