This weekend, we were truly blown away by the generosity and support of our friends at Grasshopper Lawncare. Our 1st XV and training pitches at Phoenix Park received top-quality treatment, thanks to the incredible donation from Grasshopper’s owner, Andrew, and the early morning hard work of our very own Tim Whitelegg, who was through the gates before 7:30am to get the job done.

It’s acts of kindness like this that allow our club not only to run but to thrive — and it’s what makes Stowmarket RUFC such a special rugby family. We’re excited to build on this partnership with Grasshopper in the years to come and see how we can continue to help each other grow and succeed.

Adding to this strong connection, both Tim Whitelegg and Gavin Rudland, two of our players, are part of the Grasshopper team. Tim also enters his 3rd season being proudly sponsored by the company.

Tim shared:

“After speaking with Andrew, he was really keen to get involved with the club. He’s seen all the effort the committee has been putting in over the off-season and the exciting direction we’re heading. He understands the importance of supporting local and is excited about how we can work together going forward.”
