Hartford Homes is proud to announce a new three-year main sponsorship of Douglas Rugby Club, deepening its commitment to Manx rugby and grassroots sport across the Isle of Man.
This significant partnership will support the club’s thriving community, which includes a cohort of more than 200 senior and junior players. The sponsorship is a natural fit for Hartford Homes, building on its ongoing support of the Isle of Man Rugby Academy and junior tournaments, and coinciding with the launch of its new nearby development, Braddan Woods.
A spokesperson for Hartford Homes said:
‘We’re excited to take on the role of main sponsor at Douglas Rugby Club. With our commitment to Manx rugby and our emerging new adjacent development at Braddan Woods, it felt like a natural fit for Hartford. We look forward to adding our help and support and being part of their journey over the course of the next three years. Best wishes to all of the Douglas teams playing this season.’
The support from Hartford Homes will provide a major boost to the club, enabling it to fund crucial expenses such as off-Island travel for fixtures, new kits for players, and the continuation of its full-time Rugby Development Officer role, which is focused on enhancing the skills of young players.
A spokesperson from Douglas Rugby Club welcomed the new sponsorship agreement:
‘We’re delighted to have Hartford Homes on board as our main club sponsor. Their support will play a crucial role in giving our teams and cohort of more than 200 senior and junior players the best chance of success and in the development of future talent in the Island. It enables us to fund our travel expenses for off-Island fixtures, provide kits for our players, and continue the work of our full-time Rugby Development Officer who is primarily tasked with improving the skills of our young players.’
‘We’re especially appreciative because Hartford Homes is well-known for its sponsorship of a number of initiatives right across the community, as well as being a major supporter of Manx rugby, sponsoring the Isle of Man Rugby Academy and junior community game. To now have their support for our club makes this partnership even more meaningful.’
