Fans of the club purchased worn team shirts to support remembrance weekend last year.

These shirts were worn by players of both Telford Tigers' first and second teams in their league matches during early November.

The club has donated £1,700 to the High Ercall Royal British Legion branch. 

A cheque was presented to Ray Wickson, Steve Bentley and Katrina Baker from the branch before Telford Tigers' match with Leeds Knights on Sunday evening.

Tigers were beaten 3-0 bringing their four-game winning streak to an end. 

The funding will be used to support families across the borough via donations to the Telford Veterans Trail and breakfast clubs.
