Rugby, as Welsh as daffodils, cawl and male voice choirs, sits at the heart of every community, and St Davids is no different. Home to just over 1,700 people, any sports team here in Britain’s smallest city faces a battle to success, and whilst the Welsh are famous for their love of the game, it still takes much investment to achieve.
Established in 1953, the club has recently focused on developing the home ground and building a solid future, from minis to seniors, with a committee dedicated to its growth.
As one of the largest employers within the peninsula, it is important for the Retreats Group to play its part in supporting the local community, and whilst we regularly donate to fundraisers in the form of hotel stays, we felt that for the year ahead, we wanted to make a significant impact to a wider number of local residents by becoming one of St Davids Rugby Clubs main sponsors.
The club held a sponsor’s day on Saturday, March 2nd, for their home game against Llanybydder. As general manager of Retreats Group, I was delighted to attend, meet with the committee, see our logo on the new jerseys, and watch the game.
A win for the saints topped the day off, beating Llanybydder by 32 – 7.
You don’t have to play yourself, or even know someone who plays, to be interested and proud of the team’s achievements or recognise how important a club like this is to the city of St Davids.
Find out more about the club by visiting their website, and if you can donate to their fund for new floodlights, your donation will be much appreciated.
