BARRY Comprehensive School’s Under-14 rugby squad were delighted to receive their special tour kit as they prepare for their trip to Barcelona.

The squad of 35 boys leave for Spain on Wednesday, April 5, and will really look the part on their challenging tour.

Barry-based solicitors CJCH have provided the team with t-shirts and hoodies, whilst Merthyr-based Hoover Ltd have made a large contribution towards the jerseys.

The group have also been donated a set of polo shirts to wear to certain events by South Wales Monuments based in Caerphilly.

Whilst in Spain the A and B squad will each play two matches against local opposition, as well as playing in the Girona regional tournament and even on their rest day will take on local opposition in a football match.

Tour organiser Mr Manley said: “The level of support we have received is incredible, CJCH Solicitors have supported us throughout our planning and are always pleased to help us, I can’t thank them enough.

"Hoover who are from 30 miles away and South Wales Monuments from Caerphilly have also helped us considerably and the fact they are not really from our area makes their donations very special.

"When you are taking a group of this size away it becomes very expensive and without the help and support of these fantastic companies the cost to parents would become impossible to meet.

"The boys can’t wait for the tour and I just want to thank everyone for their kind support.”
