Eastmoor were 20-0 to the good against Worth in their latest Division Two clash when Boot suffered a severe break to his right leg.

Boot stepped past the home centre but was then caught by a trailing leg, leading to a break in both his tibia and fibula.

Tries from Mark Matthews, Michael Jedynak, Danny Johnson and Boot, along with two Jamie Creed conversions, had put the visitors in control.

Eastmoor will be holding a fundraising event for Boot at 5pm in the clubhouse - after their home game with Crigglestone - on Saturday.

There will be an auction and raffle while any donations would also be appreciated.
