1 min read
Norbar Torque Tools – a specialist in the design, development and production of torque tightening and measuring equipment – has provided a boost to girls' rugby by sponsoring its local club.
Banbury-based Norbar has weighed in with a £5000 donation for the girls rugby section of Gosford All-Blacks Rugby Football Club to sponsor the Girls and Ladies teams over a two year period.
The RFU, Rugby Union's governing body in England, claims that women's rugby is going from strength to strength, with more girls than ever before coming into the game and awards becoming increasingly frequent. Girls Rugby at Gosford All-Blacks is having considerable success, with four girls representing the County of Oxfordshire and one, Olivia Jones, selected for the South West of England Divisional Team.
Norbar managing director Neill Brodey is a keen rugby supporter and believes that the club has made a great contribution to the sport and the local community in the Oxford area. "The Gosford All-Blacks have made great strides in promoting interest in rugby in schools and we are particularly delighted to help the club to develop its active and enthusiastic girls and ladies section. Rugby can become a lifetime passion for players at all levels, as well as providing tremendous pride and pleasure for their families and friends."
Norbar, headquartered in Banbury, has branches in Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore and the USA. It manufactures its own products and the tools to test them and has a worldwide reputation for expertise in high quality precision engineering.
