🚨 Announcement 🚨
Roodepoort Rugby Club is delighted to renew its relationship with World of rugby Randburg.
[Roodepoort, 12 May 2021] – Arguably one of the strongest rugby clubs in Gauteng over the last 80 years, Roodepoort Rugby Club (RRC) has undergone several evolutions in structures and philosophies.
Like all rugby (and other sports) clubs, the community and the club leadership have had to negotiate challenging times and market conditions – with the sole aim, of course, of remaining relevant and competitive in all facets of the sport, the business of sport and in the hearts and minds of the people this institution serves.
It's only through consistent support from long-standing sponsors and the general camaraderie between business, people and the RRC fanbase that Roodepoort Rugby Club has managed to not only maintain its presence – but grow its footprint among the people of Johannesburg’s West Rand (and the overall rugby fraternity at large).
We have a lot to be thankful for – and many-many people and organisations to thank but, today, we’d like to make special mention of Sportprosa World of Rugby.
For years now our teams across senior and junior ranks have been running out with high-quality rugby gear and professional training support from WOR.
“Like all of our mainstay sponsors, Theo van Rensburg and his team at WOR have stuck with Roodepoort Rugby Club to not only help us negotiate staggering difficulties brought forth by the Covid pandemic and general economic crunch – but they have done so without waver, without complaint and with enthusiasm in answer to every need,” says RRC Chairman, Mathys Booyens.
“After five quality years together, we are delighted to renew our partnership with this dynamic company and, more importantly, with such a willing group of people who always put the interest of community, players and the public ahead of their own.”
The Sportpro South Africa World of Rugby facility in Randburg (not far from SuperSport’s studios) carries a huge variety of sports and fan gear, as well as equipment – all complemented by a state-of-the-art training facility that’s often used by professional teams and individual sportspeople.
“Our association with Roodepoort Rugby Club stretches beyond the cold realities of business,” says van Rensburg, WOR founder. “In RRC we have found friends who share our passion for the sport and how it impacts communities. Sport unites and connects all of us and we are delighted to be a part of a club that thinks similarly about the endless possibilities and the privilege of serving our communities.”
Roodepoort Rugby Club is on the precipice of an exciting season and a truly promising future.
With the return of club rugby activity, bubbling commercial opportunities aplenty and the continued support of business and the public – our mantra of ‘defying odds through skill and not force’ rings more true than ever.
