Phil Yates, president of St Neots Rugby Club, said: “We’re extremely thankful to Nisa Local for their generous donation. The funds will go towards purchasing new kits for our youth teams, replacing the old, worn kits that no longer reflect the quality of rugby we aim to deliver. The new kits will not only instil pride in our players but also help attract new talent to the club.”

“With this support, we’re thrilled to enhance our youth development programs,” Yates continued. “We believe rugby is an excellent sport for young people, and we want to make it accessible to everyone who wants to participate.”
