Royal Wootton Bassett RFC Under-16 Ricky Coe plans to brave a 13,000ft skydive with his supportive sister Emmie to raise money for the U16 2019 Rugby Tour to Dublin.

Their dad Dennis said: "I'm massively proud of both of them. Nothing fazes Emmie, but Ricky really hates heights - we went to look at the Shard in London once and he felt dizzy just looking up at it - but he's dedicated to this club, and wants to help the lads out and conquer his fear.

Ricky's sister Emmie is also a well-known face around RWBRFC, often volunteering at the club. "She's followed Ricky from day one and organised club events, she's lovely and everyone likes her", said Dennis.

Money raised for the skydive will go towards funding the Under-16's upcoming rugby tour to Dublin, assorted equipment, and covering costs in case one of the players can't afford a place on the coach or an expensive piece of kit.
