A LARGE turnout is expected for Easter weekend events that are being held in memory of a much-loved Denbighshire man.

A Summer League charity match is scheduled to be held on Easter Sunday, April 9.

This will be in memory of Martin Dyer, who tragically died following a paragliding accident in France last July.

Llangynhafal, the team Mr Dyer played for and managed, will be playing Rhewl, with kick-off at 2.30pm.

The football match will be followed by an evening event at the Drovers Arms, Rhewl, with live music / DJ, an outdoor bar and marquee, and a charity auction, starting at 7pm.

The day is being organised by Mr Dyer's sons Johan and Theo.

Johan said: "So far, it seems like it's going to be busy, which is good.

"You kind of expect it because of who dad was, but you always have that little side of doubt.

"I speak to random people in Tesco and they say they will be coming on the ninth.

"There are lads who have moved away and they're coming down."

Theo works for a high end raffle company in London and he has supplied three lots for the auction during the evening.

These include a year's subsciption to the raffle service, worth just under £300, in addition to the match-worn gloves worn by Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the dramatic Euro 2020 final against England at Wembley.

Donnarumma took a starring role as Gareth Southgate's England lost out 3-2 on penalties.

It is fitting that the gloves form part of the auction, as Mr Dyer was a well-known goalkeeper around the region during his playing days.

Another auction item will be a Manchester United shirt, which has been signed by Marcus Rashford, as well as signed picture of darting superstar Michael van Gerwen.

A total of 10 lots have been secured for the evening auction, as well as two raffle prizes.

All proceeds will be donated to the Wales Air Ambulance.
