Morgan Hemp has shown its backing for youth sport in Wales by sponsoring the Welsh national team at the first ever European Junior Touch Rugby Championships.
Morgan Hemp will now feature on the shirts of the Wales junior squad as they take on eight teams from across Europe at the Championships held in Swansea this summer.
Taking place from the 5th – 6th August at the King George V Playing Fields at Ashleigh Road in Swansea, the event will be the first of its kind to be held in Europe and will involve the first ever European junior international match.
Over the course of five days (5th – 10th August) 52 adult teams from 16 nations will be descending on Swansea to participate in the 9th European Touch Championships, with the first ever junior championships opening the weeklong event.
Speaking of the sponsorship of the Wales Junior team, Martin Hudson, Director at Morgan Hemp said: “We are delighted to be able to show our support for this emerging sport in Wales. Touch Rugby is becoming increasingly popular in Wales as it follows in the footsteps of nations who have really taken this accessible variation of our national sport to heart.”
“We are very much looking forward to supporting the junior Welsh national team during what will be an exciting time for Touch rugby in Wales and a great prospect for the city of Swansea.”
