Chris Kays Memorial Rugby Tournament 2020 postponed
The Pattaya Panthers RFC Chairman, Jim Howard said via an email:
“It is with regret that the Pattaya Panthers RFC are announcing the postponement of the Chris Kays Memorial Rugby Tournament 2020, in line with the directives from our controlling unions and the Thai Government regarding the gathering of a large number of people and the increasing restrictions that are being placed on travel we feel that the postponement is the only solution.
I know that many people have already made plans to attend our event and some have already purchased tickets and made hotel reservations we apologise unreservedly to those of you that have been inconvenienced and if the Panthers can help you in any way with refunds or rescheduling of reservations please do let us know!”
There are plans to have the tournament played later this year, but no date has been provided as of yet. The tournament would be the 20th edition of the social rugby tournament.
Traditionally the rugby tournament is dedicated to the memory of the Pattaya Panthers RFC former captain Chris Kays, who was tragically killed in the Bali bombings in 2002.

Jim Howard added, “We wish all of our friends and supporters a full and healthy return to normalcy and look forward to seeing you in Pattaya in the near future.”
