Having raised $16,813 for the East Coast Rural Support Trust with their 2020 charity jersey, the Hawke's Bay Magpies are looking for another cause to get behind with a one-off strip this year.
Hawke's Bay Rugby Football Union Inc is welcoming applications this week for charities looking to have 2021's charity jersey dedicated to them.
