NEWS: We Have Sponsered A Local Rugby Player…

Yes, that’s right, we have sponsored a local Cullompton Ladies RFC player for her next full season at the club.

Function28 is delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring Jen Hamer from Cullompton Ladies RFC for her next full season at the club.

Jen is a winger/centre and is known for the vast amount of carries she completes. With the events in 2020, the 19/20 season was unfortunately cut short. Jen played 11/13 games that season racking up 36 tackles, and 65 carries (half of the games only recorded).

Once the first lockdown was eased the Cullompton Ladies RFC started preparing for pre-season with most picking up the ball for the first time for a few months, with plenty of cardio being completed over that time. Jen and her teammates then found out that the return to competitive playing delayed until 2021 after it was announced in late September.

We hope Jennie and her team will be back playing competitively very soon, and Function28 is glad to be supporting her when this happens.

Here is what our MD Russ Murch had to say about the sponsorship with Jennie:

“Anybody who knows me understands my passion for community and sports 9 more so boxing than anything else), however when I was asked if function28 would be interested in sponsoring Jennie I was delighted to be in a position to say yes. Particularly at this point in everybody’s lives where Covid19 is effecting us all showing our support for one another is so important.

I only hope that the ladies actually get to play some rugby this season and when they do, you can be assured the f28 team will be there cheering them on.”
