RUGBY players in Nailsea are delighted to have some new equipment, courtesy of a local firm.

Kellaway Building Supplies has given Nailsea and Backwell Rugby Club two replacement sets of post protectors to enable them to continue playing safely. The pads are priced at around £500 per set and club members are hugely grateful to Kellaway for donating the equipment.

The firm, which is based in Blackfriars Road, is a keen supporter of the club and has assisted with materials to improve drainage at the pitch. The post protectors were presented to members at the ground in West End Park.
