Kira Noble to Present BKT Player of the Match at #ChangeTheGame fixture

18 Apr 2025

Edinburgh Rugby is honoured to announce that the inspirational Kira Noble will present the BKT Player of the Match medal at tonight’s #ChangeTheGame match against Hollywoodbets Sharks at Hive Stadium.

Kira was diagnosed with rare cancer neuroblastoma at the young age of 11 and has shown incredible strength and resilience in her ongoing battle with the disease for over a decade.

Throughout her cancer journey, Kira and her family have received invaluable support from the club’s remarkable charity partner, It’s good 2 give.

They have firsthand experience of the immense positive impact the charity makes on the lives of young people undergoing cancer treatment and their families.

Tonight’s match is dedicated to helping #ChangeTheGame for It’s good 2 give, with the aim of raising vital funds for their continued crucial work.

As a special part of the evening, Kira will be on hand at full time to present the BKT Player of the Match medal to the standout player.

This poignant moment highlights the strength and spirit that embodies both Kira’s fight and the ethos of the #ChangeTheGame initiative.
