A FUNDRAISING page has been set up to support the families of the two Wrexham teenagers who sadly passed away last weekend. 

Dafydd Hûw Craven-Jones, 18, of Tanyfron, and Morgan Jones, 17, of Coedpoeth, died following a collision on Cannock Road, near Penkridge, Staffordshire, on Saturday, May 25.

Sophie Bates, 17, from Stafford also died following the collision, while another 17-year-old girl has been discharged from hospital. 

Tributes have poured in for the teenagers, and now Wrexham Rugby Club, who both Dafydd and Morgan played for, have set up a GoFundMe page (here) to raise money to support the families. 

The memorial fund has been set up with a target of £5,000, with over £600 being raised in the first half an hour. 

A spokesperson for Wrexham Rugby Club said: "It is with great sorrow that we have seen the passing of Dafydd and Morgan.

"The level of support from people who knew the boys and those that didn’t has been immense. The broader rugby family has also shown its respect and support to everyone at Wrexham Rugby Club and the families.

"It is often difficult to understand the loss of close friends and family and even harder to understand when they are taken from us at such a young age. Both boys had an enormous amount to achieve and they were certainly making their mark in life and forging a way through with the lives they wanted to lead.

"They had been at a Wrexham Rugby from a very young age and would often be seen smashing into forts made from tackle bags and shields. As they became older they naturally joined the teams and played all the way through to the Senior Youth Team.

"This summer they planned on making the transition into senior rugby, somewhere they would have been further challenged as young men. We have no doubt about the impact they made through their playing careers and we will miss them dearly.

"As the families come to terms with the loss of Dafydd and Morgan our job as a club is to look after their families. Any money raised will be given to the families to support them whilst they navigate this difficult journey in their memory."
