EAST YORKS: A rugby match in memory of one of East Yorkshire's best-known amateur players will take place later this month.
The fourth annual Simon Smith Charity Shield will be held at Hullensians in Springhead Lane, Anlaby on April 24.
A warm-up game between rugby league clubs Hull Wyke Under 8's and Cottingham Tigers Under 8's will take place before the main game kicks off at 3pm.
A Simon Smith team, made up of Simon's friends and former teammates, will take on a Hullensians team.
Simon, of west Hull, who played for Hull Ionians and Hull Rugby Club and later coached at Hullensians, had motor neurone disease (MND) and died in April 2007, aged 38.
The memorial games have since raised more than �20,000 for Dove House Hospice, the MND Association and Action Duchenne charities.
Admission costs �5 and an auction and raffle will be held.
HULL: More than 200 staff from Hull And East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust gathered at the KC Stadium for an achievement ceremony.
The Golden Hearts Awards was funded by the trust's in-house staff lottery and the event saw nine individuals and teams receive trophies, certificates and prizes from Hull City's Nick Barmby, who was guest of honour.
It culminated in two awards for Outstanding Individual Of The Year in a clinical and non-clinical role.
Consultant gastroenterologist Jacquelyn Smithson won a holiday worth �9,000, while deep cleaning co-ordinator Debbie Brown won a Ford Fiesta.
EAST RIDING: The East Riding coastal health and health trainer teams will offer free blood pressure checks in Withernsea, Bridlington and Goole later this month.
