🏉 ANNOUNCEMENT🏉With the support of long standing and key sponsor, @Shropshire Stainless and Aluminium, we are introducing a Young Member of the Month Award.This monthly award will go to a member of our M&J Section who embodies everything that it is, to be a Newport (Salop) RUFC member. Whether it's outstanding performances on the pitch, fundraising and volunteering off it, positively promoting the club's image at events, and everything in-between. Many of the Senior Men and Women that are at the club today, have come through our M&J Section, and this award is about celebrating the next generation of talent at Newport (Salop) RUFC.We caught up with Shropshire Stainless and Aluminium Managing Director, Gary James, about why this award is so important to him and his team at SSA.“I’m incredibly proud to support the youth development work happening here at Newport (Salop) Rugby Club. At SSA, we believe that investing in young people isn’t just good for the future of the sport, but it strengthens our whole community. Seeing the next generation grow in confidence, learn and develop new skills, and create lifelong friendships is something we’re passionate about, it’s a privilege to play even a small part in that progression. I’m especially pleased to see the fantastic progress of the girls’ and women’s teams. Their energy, commitment, and talent are inspiring, and we’re dedicated to supporting an environment where every young player, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive. Well done to everyone involved in making this such a positive and welcoming club. SSA is proud to stand alongside you.”Without further ado, your Shropshire Stainless and Aluminium Young Member of the Month Award, goes to, Eleanor Taylor. Eleanor's work on and off the pitch never goes unnoticed. She is an avid supporter of our Sirens XV (travelling to pretty much every game to cheer them on!). She was part of the mascot team at the Women's RWC, meeting Scotland captain, Rachel Malcolm and leaving such and impression, that the club have been lucky enough to speak with Rachel about the experience. Most recently, Eleanor left a note for the England Red Roses that was shared across their social media and ours, further growing the women and girls section at Newport (Salop) RUFC.Eleanor, you are an inspiration to many, a feared opponent on the pitch by most (mainly the boys!) and you truly embody everything that it is, to be a Newport (Salop) RUFC Member.If you have a suggestion of a member who should be considered for this award, please message us, or email with details to info@newportsaloprufc.co.uk#YoungMemberAward #CelebratingYouth #NewportSalopRUFC #JuniorRugby ...
