Strathaven Women’s Rugby Club is celebrating the unveiling of their new training kits, thanks to a generous £5,000 donation from homebuilder Persimmon West Scotland.

Persimmon, which is actively developing new communities in the surrounding areas, has stepped up as the primary sponsor, providing crucial funding to support the club. The £5,000 donation will cover the costs of the new training kits, helping the women’s team prepare for the upcoming season and further develop women’s rugby in the region.

Formed earlier this year, Strathaven Women’s Rugby Club has already seen success on the pitch and aims to expand the women’s game across South Lanarkshire. The new training kits, which are designed for both performance and team unity, will allow the players to train with confidence and pride.

Chris Logan, Managing Director of Persimmon West Scotland, said:

“As one of the leading homebuilders in South Lanarkshire, we’re determined to leave a legacy in communities we operate in.

“Strathaven Women’s Rugby Club is a brilliant example of local sport bringing people together, and we’re proud to support their development with this donation. We look forward to seeing the team continue to thrive.”

Sinclair McLaren, Sponsorship & Advertising Coordinator and Women’s Team Coach at Strathaven Rugby Club, added:

“It’s great to have the support of Persimmon, their donation has not only allowed us to get this kit, but also allowed us to put some into new training equipment which will benefit the whole club. A huge thanks for their support from all at the club.”
