St Columba’s sponsor Birkmyre Rugby Club
12th March
We are delighted to announce that we have agreed to a double sponsorship package with Birkmyre Rugby Club which will commence formally in August this year.
Firstly, our logo will appear on the rear of the Mini’s playing kit for the next 3 seasons. We have also agreed to sponsor their Post Protectors which are used by both the 1st XV and Minis when games are being played.
This sponsorship builds on the existing work the club and the School have been doing to help develop rugby talent at the U16 age group this year, where a number of Birkmyre players turn out for the school team and train with them.
Speaking about this collaboration, Mr Gordi Reid - Director of Sport & PE - commented: “Many of our successful rugby players started their journey at Birkmyre Minis before they came to St Columba’s. We are delighted to be sponsoring Birkmyre Rugby Club which brings rich opportunities both to our School and local communities. It has been great to see how well the Birkmyre boys have integrated into the School set up and also how many former pupils are now representing the Club 1st XV, who will hopefully go on to win their league this season. A main goal of our extra curricular programme is to encourage senior pupils to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle and remain in sport as they leave the School. Birkmyre provides that opportunity on our doorstep.”
