Club President Neil Workman thanked Connect Comms for their sponsorship and was disappointed that Manchester based managing director Oscar wasn't able to travel over.

Club President Neil Workman emphasised the importance of sponsorship from the business community, particularly with the great redevelopment plans that Ards rugby has.

Connect Comms' Stevie Robinson thanked Neil for his warm welcome and that of all at Ards Rugby since he joined it upon his return to Northern Ireland from working in England.

Stevie continued that although Connect Comms' business is all about connecting business and people through telecommunications; people and community is what drew him and Connect Comms to supporting Ards Rugby.
