Davanti joins Grassroots Rugby Team Hindley ARLFC for their launch evening

Since their 2018/19 season, we have been proudly sponsoring several youth teams at Wigan-based Hindley Amateur Rugby League Football Club (ARLFC), and as part of this sponsorship, we are proud to have joined them in unveiling their new kit designs and club branding.

Over 950 young players, sponsors and family members gathered at The Edge Conference Facility in Wigan for an event where they were given an exclusive first look at the new kits, the club’s exciting rebrand and special guest presenters. The event also featured a ceremony awarding this year’s star players.

Several special guests also made an appearance; Matt Peet (Wigan Warriors Head Coach), Sam Powell (Ex-Wigan Player and Current Warrington Wolves Player) and Beth Haynes (Wigan Women’s 1st and Academy player) who all gave a small interview on stage, with Matt Peet sharing advice to the young players leading up the new season.

Along with guest interviews, the new kits integrating the club’s rebranded crests were also shown off for the first time. The new all-black kit moves away from the block colour design of last year and is now adorned with one of two new golden crests, with ARLFC being rebranded to ‘Hindley Stags’ for the boys’ teams and ‘Hindley Hinds’ for the girls’ teams due to their rising popularity.

The Davanti logo retains its centre spot on the shirt, surrounded by the new gold antler design. These new kits will be worn by the youth teams, aged from under 7’s to under 12’s, as well as the newly launched under 11’s and under 12’s all-girls teams.

Andrew Burgess, Group Finance Director at Davanti said:

“It’s always a rewarding moment as we reveal the new kit designs to the juniors – they are always excited to see what they are going to be playing in for the upcoming season. It really reinforces exactly why we do this community partnership with Hindley.”

“It’s so important to support local, grassroots sports clubs and over the past four years, we’ve seen great growth in the number of children participating in the sport with several junior age groups now running multiple teams. We now also have thriving girl teams with over 100 females playing the sport across six youth age groups.”

Barry Taylor, Chairman at Hindley ARLFC, added:

“We are thrilled to unveil our latest collection of kits and express our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors for their support. Their generosity enables us to continue our mission of fostering talent and promoting the values of sportsmanship and teamwork within our community.”

Our sponsorship is important to us and allows us to put back into our community as we pride ourselves on Leading The Way, creating partnerships that are much more than just branding, and we look forward to our future with Hindley ARLFC.
