Once again the DHL Barbarians will be vying for the trophy when they take on Bahrain Select during DHL’s annual memorial rugby match. Currently in its eighth year, DHL’s annual memorial game pays tribute to the DHL colleagues who sadly lost their lives whilst working in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2008.
To honour their memory, members of DHL’s rugby team from across the world have been flying into Bahrain every year since 2009, to take part in the match and help raise funds in support of local charities.
All donations generated during the 2017 event will be distributed to the RIA School for Autistic Children, the BSPCA, the Bahrain Red Crescent Society, The Christian Cemetery in Salmabad and Bahrain’s very own Dogfather who runs a rescue shelter for animals.
The DHL memorial rugby match will kick off tomorrow at the Bahrain Rugby Football Club in Janibaya at 6.45pm. This year, the event will also feature a DHL-sponsored Junior Memorial Match for the U8s and U14s which will run from 5pm-6pm on the same day and act as the curtain-raiser to the main game.
