Over the last year the first XV and the Youth sides have all been using the new style Cobham shirts which have been a great success - durable, stylish and great to wear - and wash (for those that do such things). Our Club Sponsor, Mundays, have been very active as ever in supporting the club in all sorts of ways. They provide a great benefit to the club.

With the advent of the new season we warmly welcome Massive (a Pub chain known to Cobham as the owners of The Plough amongst others) as sponsor for the veterans' team, the All Stars.

For the Senior sides - 1sts, 2nds, and 3rds - we are also delighted to have Menzies the Chartered Accountants who have been sponsors in many ways over the last few seasons. Menzies has now stepped up to the opportunity to sponsor the Seniors shirts and we're very grateful to them for doing so.

Within the Youth section, Nando's - the home of flame grilled peri peri chicken - continue as sponsors after a particularly fruitful year for Youth - and where Nando's have said how much they enjoy being associated with Cobham Youth. We're delighted to be associated with such a health conscious and fun group of people.

Turning to the largest group within Cobham - the Minis - we are indebted to Savills (the estate agents) for their sponsorship and we look forward to building a lasting and strong relationship with them. All Cobham members are encouraged to use Savills for any sale or purchase of houses - but don't forget to mention Cobham Rugby at the outset - in return they will make a substantial donation to the club.

And that premise goes for all our sponsors - they're not charities. They are sponsoring a successful club and running a business - so whenever you use any sponsors' services, do remember to tell them you're from Cobham; it just helps them justify their investment - and who knows, they may invest more with us in the future.

We now have one shirt representing one club. Enjoy wearing the shirts - wear them with pride as you represent Cobham Rugby.
