MAJOR SPONSORSHIP OF ROSSLYN PARK MINIS ANNOUNCED
Posted by: Steve Kearns on Wednesday, December 5th, 2007We are delighted to announce that Russell-Cooke LLP have agreed to sponsor Rosslyn Park Minis for the next three years.
Russell-Cooke (www.russell-cooke.co.uk) is a firm of solicitors based in Central London and South-West London. The firm has a large office in Putney: its clients are companies, individuals and charities. We have also received confirmation that this sponsorship will be enhanced by Sportsmatch, a government funded body set up to support the development of grass roots sport in England.
This is very exciting news for the Minis. It will help us fulfil many of our development plans. One of these is to support primary and secondary schools in our area in the coaching of rugby. This initiative has already started. On Monday the finals of the Wandsworth primary schools tag rugby tournament took place following three preliminary rounds held recently throughout the borough. Rosslyn Park organised this competition and Steve Kearns, Shaun Justice and other members of the 1st XV squad acted as coaches and referees.
Meanwhile we are extremely grateful for the continuing support of First Counsel who have sponsored our very smart training tops for three years now, to Serious Pictures who gave us those wonderful coaches’ outfits and to Savoy Asset Management who provided us with the best rugby gazebos in the land.
On Sunday at the Minis Christmas Party, the sponsor’s cheque was formally handed over to the Minis by Jason Hunter of Russell-Cooke. Jason commented that this sponsorship represented a commitment to the future of rugby at Rosslyn Park and within our community.
