Chiefs to Wear a Special T-Shirt for Aidon Davis

Exeter Chiefs will be wearing a special t-shirt in the warm-up of their game against Bath Rugby on April 6th to help raise funds for teammate Aidon Davis.

The South-African Chiefs back rower is currently receiving treatment for his fight against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Supporters can purchase one in the Club Shop on matchday. The t-shirt will cost £9.99 and is available in a range of sizes with all funds going to the Exeter Chiefs Foundation Players Benevolent fund.

The Players Benevolent Fund was set up by Exeter Rugby Club Chairman Tony Rowe, CBE as part of the Exeter Chiefs Foundation to financially assist current and past players in times of need or hardship.

These t-shirts for Aidon will bear the statement “In the Chiefs Family no one fights alone” alongside the Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma symbol of a green ribbon and will be worn by the Exeter players during their pre-match warm-up at Sandy Park.

When Aidon’s diagnosis was first made public, Director of Rugby Rob Baxter explained the entire club would support Aidon in any way they could.

“We at the Chiefs are all right behind him in his fight to get 100% well again and I know Aidon is desperate to continue getting into the club and training and partaking in club activities whenever he can.”

“He is an incredibly strong and popular character and I know all our supporters will join myself, the staff and players in supporting him wherever and whenever we can.”

Fans will also be able to show their support to the Exeter Chiefs Player Benevolent Fund by donating to bucket collectors who will be the non-playing players who will be located around the ground on matchday.
