SKIPTON Rugby Club's mini, junior and girls' section has attracted a new sponsor - local kebab takeaway Lemons.

Club development officer Ash Greaves said the partnership was a great demonstration of the support available from local businesses.

He added: "We are thrilled that Lemons have come forward offering their support and their valued contribution to the youth section will help us continue to evolve the club.

"There is a good reason why we have around 110 children and support such as this will only help us to achieve our goal of having youths playing rugby at every age group."

Asim Mahmood, owner of Lemons, said: "Young people of today need support and if businesses like ourselves and services such as Skipton Rugby Club can work together to provide better opportunities then that is something positive for local youths."
