HUNDREDS of local rugby union players, officials and spectators are expected at St Mary's Church in Bungendore today to mourn the death of Queanbeyan Whites stalwart, Pat Mathews.
Soon after leaving the field during his customary lower grade game for the Whites on Saturday morning, Mr Mathews suffered a suspected heart attack in the change rooms. He passed away a short time later, aged 55.
His death leaves a gaping hole at the Queanbeyan Whites the club he played more than 600 games for, in an amazing career which began in 1973.
