Dragons will pay tribute to fan Ray Gleed who died before their United Rugby Championship (URC) match against Sharks last weekend.

Mr Gleed, who was 77 and from Caldicot, was a dedicated season member who passed away following a medical emergency outside Rodney Parade last Saturday.

Following consultation with his family, Dragons are inviting fans to join in a minute's applause in the 17th minute during the URC match against Lions in Newport on Sunday, 13 October.

It is to mark 17 October, which would have been Mr Gleed's 78th birthday.

Supporters who wish to leave floral tributes are invited to place them by Gate 3 at Rodney Parade.

A Dragons statement read: "The thoughts of us all at Dragons RFC remain with Ray's family and friends at this sad time."
