Rugby: Vagabonds Ladies announce Gallagher as new club sponsor

Organisation is also title sponsor for Premiership rugby in England

Vagabonds Ladies Rugby Club has confirmed Gallagher as its new sponsor for the season.

The brokering and risk management firm is also the title sponsor of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby season in England with an Isle of Man branch based in Prospect Hill, Douglas.

On the new agreement, the club itself believes it'll be 'a major boost for our grassroots team on the Isle of Man and comes at a crucial time when women's rugby is gaining popularity.'

The 2024/25 campaign is seeing Vagabonds Ladies competing in Womens NC2 North (South) where they sit third in the standings after their opening three matches.

Their only victory so far was a 22-7 home victory over Eccles on 12 October either side of defeats on the road at Winnington Park and Leigh.

The squad's next contest takes place this Saturday (2 November) on home turf at Ballafletcher against Bury.

Meanwhile, Vagabonds Ladies captain Leona McGovern adds Gallagher's support will make 'a real difference' throughout the rest of the season.

It's anticipated the club's new sponsor will feature on the team kit from some time in December.
