FIELDING SUPPORT FOR ST IVES RFC
The Hakes at the heart of the St Ives community is receiving significant support from local businesses both on and off the pitch.
St Ives RFC is delighted to have agreed a 2-year co-sponsorship deal with 4 businesses who have teamed up to provide kit and awareness for the club.
Ayr Holiday Park, CVC Solicitors, Greenwood Wilson Accountants and Symons Construction have collaborated to enable “off field” kit for the Hakes consisting of 70 polo shirts, 70 shorts and 70 jumpers, to be worn by players, coaches and managers before games and at training.
This partnership will be visible to visitors, supporters and players, at home and away, as well as away from the grounds, facilitating an awareness drive for St Ives RFC.
Chairman of St Ives RFC, Ian Sanders explains the importance of this most recent sponsorship deal saying:
“The sponsorship we receive from local businesses is key to our success and we are extremely grateful to Ayr Holiday Park, CVC Solicitors, Greenwood Wilson Accountants and Symons Construction for teaming up to support us in this latest partnership. Their sponsorship will enable off-field kit for the Hakes which will not only be invaluable to players, coaches and managers, it will also drive awareness of our club before games, at training, and also importantly outside of the club, as the kit is worn for the gym or casual wear around the town. The Club would like to say a huge thank you to them all.”
Bradley Gibson, St Ives RFC Committee and Life Member added:
“We are extremely grateful for the support of all our sponsors as we start the season. St Ives RFC will once again field two senior men's teams - the Hakes and the Gurnards - which entails a huge amount of work behind the scenes and is a great reflection of the commitment and ambition within the club.
Andrew Baragwanath, owner of Ayr Holiday Park is pleased to be able to support the club saying:
“Ayr Holiday Park is proud to be supporting St Ives RFC. We have sponsored the Hakes playing shirts, so the off field kit was a natural complement to this, along with a great opportunity to collaborate with other businesses who are so supportive of the local community.”
Nathan Lorraine, Operations Manager at CVC Solicitors added:
“Having supported St Ives RFC for some time through a pitch board at the grounds, we are delighted to take our sponsorship to the next level. We are pleased to have developed an opportunity to support the club both on and off the pitch and are excited for the coming season.”
Rachel Brotheridge, Director at Greenwood Wilson Accountants continued:
“With connections to the club through our employees, we are pleased to have the perfect way to get more involved. We hope that the off field kit will help St Ives RFC to reach even more men, women and children that may be interested in getting involved with the club – both on and off the pitch, playing and volunteering.”
Glen Kent, Director at Symons Construction added:
“We are proud to have developed a partnership with St Ives RFC which enables us to support our local community and collaborate with other businesses. Already involved with the St Ives Biathlon, this opportunity enables us to widen our support to another organisation at the heart of the St Ives community. We are excited about the start of a new season for St Ives RFC and of a new partnership for Symons Construction”.
There are cracking St Ives RFC fixtures, local rivalries and plenty of rugby to look forward to at Alexandra Road.
So get the dates in your diary, wear your blue with pride, and pack those touchlines.
If your business would like to make an extra special occasion of it, some dates are still available for corporate sponsored match days, but be quick as matches are going fast!
