Sidmouth Rugby Football Club is celebrating scoring a new sponsorship deal with Devonshire-based Tilia Homes.

The national homebuilder, dedicated to building quality homes and communities, has pledged £5,000 to the local sports club, which will see it become one of its key sponsors and the funds buying new men’s first team playing jerseys and the Colts Boys team, as well as off-field polo tops for each player to wear ahead of matches.

Emma Cotterill, Sales and Marketing Director at Tilia Homes Western, commented on the collaboration: “As a business which is committed to making a positive difference to local areas through the homes we build and the communities we develop, we have been impressed by Sidmouth Rugby Football Club’s passion and determination in nurturing young talent within the local community.”

John Hurson, Sponsorship & Marketing Director at Sidmouth Rugby Football Club, added: “We are very pleased to welcome Tilia Homes to the Sidmouth Rugby Club family and thank them for the generosity and support, which allows us to continue to provide the best possible kits and equipment for our teams and further invest in our players and the future of our much beloved club.”
