Jason to be remembered at '10 Year Reunion'
Published Date:

FORMER Risborough Rangers youth players are meeting up for a poignant '10-year Reunion' this Bank Holiday Sunday.
And the event will double as the official tribute game for former team-mate Jason Travers.
Jason - who joined Rangers at 11 - died from testicular cancer last December at the age of 25.
The goalkeeper came through the ranks to play for the successful Rangers U16 side that won the Wycombe Star Division Two league title back in 1998.
Ten years after their league success, the side will now turn back the clock to play at Rangers' "Windsors" ground - in Horsenden Lane - against a 'World XI' consisting of friends and family of the 'Class of '98'.
In addition, the club are holding a raffle, selling memorabilia and charging for entrance and programmes to raise money for the 'Jason Travers Tribute Fund', which forms part of the Everyman Campaign cancer charity.
Gates open for the event at 10am (kick-off 10:30); entrance is only £1 and the club bar will serve refreshments all morning and after the game.
The side's old manager Andy Woodward is looking forward to bringing everyone together and honouring Jason's memory.
Andy said: "I'm extremely pleased to have all the players back after ten years. It will be a great occasion for Jason's family and we're really pleased to be able to dedicate the game to him."
