But they managed to score a notable hat-trick of victories off it by securing three new sponsorship deals.

Like any local sports organisation, the club relies heavily on the lucrative income which benevolent sponsors can provide and are delighted to have reached agreements with PL Joinery, Sainsburys’ Linlithgow and CBS Consulting.

The connection with PL Joinery stems from owner Paul Lynch’s involvement with the club over many years, both as a player and a member.

And Eddie Curran, Consulting Director, Technology CBS, added: “We’re proud to sponsor the rugby club for a further three years and support the development of the club, which has a tremendous team of coaches, support staff and players at all age groups.”

Rugby club president Ken Richardson said the support of local business’s and organisations for Linlithgow Rugby Club was vitally important as it allowed the club to continue its existing work in promoting rugby across all ages and genders.

In addition, it helps a range of activities within the local area to further develop the club as a community hub and in turn support a range of other organisations and activities.
