ONE OF the oldest rugby clubs in Cornwall has secured a three-year front-of-shirt sponsorship with the UK’s leading builders’ merchant.
Falmouth Rugby Club, which plays in the Counties 2 Tribute Ale Cornwall league, has partnered with Travis Perkins to become one of its shirt sponsors for the next three seasons.
The club, which was established in 1873, plays at the Recreation Ground in Falmouth and has three senior Eagles sides — two male and one female — as well as 16 junior teams representing its academy and a mixed touch side called the Raptors.
As part of Travis Perkins’ ongoing efforts to support the local community near its branches, the business has become one of the sponsors to feature on the front of Falmouth’s black and white hooped jersey. Its nearest branch is Penryn on Church Hill.
Paul Munden, branch manager of Penryn Travis Perkins, said: “It is great to see our logo on the front of Falmouth’s shirt. The team plays against a variety of different sides across the county.
“The kit itself is very smart — and it is great to see our brand right in the centre of it.
“The rugby team is well followed, and it plays a very big part in the local community in Falmouth. It is great to be able to provide them with this kind of support.
“We look forward to a great relationship with the team over the next three years and following their progress on and off the field.”
Danny Trick, FRFC brand communications and co-vice chair, said: “It is great to have Travis Perkins, a nationally recognised brand, on board as one of our main sponsors for the next three years.
“Running a rugby club is not always straightforward, and we rely heavily on the generosity of sponsors like Travis Perkins to help us keep moving forward.
“The Club would like to thank them for their support, and we look forward to working with them for the next three years.”
