A FULL house is expected for this weekend's fundraising game for Tony Barrow in Thatto Heath.
Friends have quickly rallied round the former Oldham and Swinton rugby league player who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer after a tumour was detected in his brain.
All money raised will go towards helping pay for treatment for the 43-year-old father of three.
Following the news that Saints head coach Keiron Cunningham and Sean Long will take part organisers say they are expecting more than 1,000 people to attend the game between Tony's former team mates and a Thatto Heath Masters side.
It is due to get underway at 2pm at Thatto Heath's ground on Close Street on Saturday (July 4).
Langtree Park will host a fundraising dinner and auction on Sunday, July 12.
There are dedicated pages to the Tony Barrow Testimonial on Facebook and Twitter.
