HWD Hospital Radio’s match support plea to Rams fans
Dewsbury Rams fans will be asked to dig deep into their pockets this Sunday (18 August) to help the community charity which provides live home match commentary to hospital patients and further afield.
HWD Hospital Radio began broadcasting in 1952 to bring all the action of local rugby games to those in hospital who can’t get to the match.

Commentator Martin Sharpe said: “HWD Hospital Radio not only provides all the action for hospital patients but we now broadcast live via the internet, so anyone can listen.
“We have Rams fans from all over the world tuning in, including from as far as America to listen to how his favourite side is fairing.”
