A Hunter Rugby veteran is being honoured after his tragic death in a cycling accident at Scone over the weekend.
Mark Heanly died after falling off his bike during a group ride at Upper Dartbrook on Saturday morning.
It's believed his bike slipped while crossing a culvert and he fell and struck his head.
The 59-year-old couldn't be revived and died at the scene.
The Scone local played 125 games for University, including as part of the 1988 premiership-winning first-grade side.
