22 October 2024
Fox
Valley shopping centre has shown its commitment to the community by providing
sponsorship for a series of local derby rugby matches.
The popular Stocksbridge-based shopping destination has pledged its support for a series of matches between Wortley and Stocksbridge rugby union clubs.
The
two teams are contesting the Fox Valley Trophy over a series of three matches
after the centre provided the silverware, plus a man of the match trophy, branded
rugby balls, and event promotion at the shopping centre and online.
Andy Tyers, Director of Rugby at Stocksbridge
Rugby Union Football Club, said: ”It is great to have two local teams with a
friendly rivalry and with the support of Fox Valley we can now drum up even
more interest in the fixtures within the local community.”

Charlotte Whittaker, Centre Manager at
Fox Valley, said: “These are two fantastic local rugby clubs that we are proud
to be supporting.”
The first match was won 36-15 by Wortley on
September 28. The next fixture will be contested at Wortley’s Finkle Street
Lane ground on Saturday, November 30, and then the third fixture is at Stocksbridge’s
Coal Pit Lane Arena on Saturday, February 1.
Members of the public are invited to
attend both matches, which kick off at 2.15pm and the games are free to attend.

series.
