The firm handed the club a £675 donation, which will be put towards funds to extend the rugby teams’ clubhouse.

Honiton Rugby Club has been given a big financial boost after it received a £625 donation.

The money was given by Everys Solicitors of Honiton, which has been sponsoring the rugby club since 1978.

Dave ‘Stopper’ Todd, club president, said: “We are very grateful. If it were not for sponsors like this, we would not be able to function as a club. There are a lot of expenses running a club like this.”

The donation will go towards the ongoing work being carried out to extend the rugby teams’ clubhouse.

The club is welcoming any donations towards the extension - anyone who can help should call Mr Todd on 01404 41608.
