Teignbridge Trojans scores sponsorship from local housebuilder

Teignbridge Trojans RLFC has secured sponsorship from a local housebuilder and is now hoping to push on and raise awareness of Rugby League in the South West ahead of the new season this summer. Formed in 2016, the club competes in the South West Men’s League along with others from across Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, and has provided a gateway for players from various Rugby Union teams throughout the area to experience Rugby League often for the first time. As well as leading to new kits, the sponsorship will make an important contribution to the club’s running costs over the coming season.

The club is guided by a core ethos, to promote and provide the platform to enjoy Rugby League to as many people as possible, whether as a player volunteer or spectator. Opportunities are provided to play the sport without discrimination whilst helping a player’s development through the skills and fitness that the sport provides.

As well as their work on the pitch, the club is making a positive difference off it as well. Teignbridge Trojans has teamed up with men’s mental health charity Andy’s Man Club, and LooseHeadz, a rugby clothing brand that reinvests 100% of its profits to raises awareness of mental health and challenge stigma. Through this partnership, team manager Joseph Bramley will become a dedicated mental health lead at the club, providing support to players and members.

Joseph said: “With the delayed World Cup in England later this year and the addition of the sport’s top league being shown on free to air television this is a great year for the promotion of Rugby League. The South West also has its first professional team entering League 1 this year with Cornwall RLFC so it’s a big year for the region and the development of
