💙 Making a Difference Together 💙A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Shropshire Prostate Support Group at our British Elite Sevens tournament.Thanks to your incredible generosity, an amazing £961 was raised through beer sales and donations on the day in addition to a very generous donation from British Elite Sevens! 🍻👏The team at Shropshire Prostate Support Group have expressed how grateful they are to us for supporting them throughout the event. In return, we'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to them for volunteering their time and for the fantastic work they do across our community.Every pound raised will help fund future PSA testing events, subsidising the cost for every man tested. The money also helps cover the cost of specialist nurses, laboratory testing, and the essential equipment and materials needed to carry out these potentially life-saving tests.Early detection saves lives, and together we've helped make that possible for even more people.Thank you once again to everyone who bought a drink, made a donation, or stopped for a chat. Your support will have a genuine and lasting i#oneclub#community##britishelite7si#shropshireprostatesupportgroupp#psatestingP#EarlyDetectionSavesLivesSavesLives ... See MoreSee Less

✍️ BOUGHEY RETURNS TO THE PORTWe're delighted to announce the return of George Boughey to The Old Showground for the 2026/27 season!George rejoins the club after two outstanding seasons with Macclesfield RFC in National League 2, where he tested himself week in, week out against some of the strongest opposition in Level 4 rugby. His return represents a major addition to Newport's forward pack and is one we're incredibly excited about.George is no stranger to The Old Showground, having previously represented Newport before making the move to Macclesfield in 2024. His rugby journey has seen him develop into a versatile and highly effective forward, capable of playing anywhere across the back five, whether in the second row or back row.There's also a familiar connection behind the signing. During his junior rugby at Eccleshall, George was coached by Newport's now Director of Rugby, Steve Dolphin, with the pair enjoying league winning success together. Since then, George has continued to grow as a player, and his experience competing in the National Leagues will bring invaluable quality, physicality, and leadership to the squad.We're thrilled to welcome George back to the club and can't wait to see him pulling on#uptheportn#oneclubt#rugbyfamily.#newportsaloprufcC#Welcomebackmily #NewportSalopRUFC #WelcomeBack ...
