One of the highlights of the evening was the auctioning of the number 19 1st XV shirt with the proceeds going to pay tribute to Ben Walker, the 15 year-old Thrapston lad who tragically died playing football and who was known to many at the club.

The shirt went for £1,100 with Sean Boyle making the top bid.
