Matson RFC is currently competing in Regional 1 Tribute South West, a level we are extremely proud of. We are the highest-ranked local side in Gloucestershire, which is no small feat for a club that began in a council estate. Every other weekend, we travel to towns like Brixham, Barnstaple, and Exmouth to compete. Despite the challenges, the players at Matson RFC never shy away from a fight.
While we don’t have the financial resources of some of our opponents, we work hard both on and off the pitch to remain competitive. In 2023, we were fortunate to receive a grant towards the floodlights around our pitch. This has proven valuable not only for the senior team but also for our thriving mini section, with over 80 kids representing the club every week. However, the grant didn’t stretch as far as we had hoped, and we were only able to install second-hand halogen lights. Sadly, only a third of these lights are now working.
We need your help to replace our current lighting with new LED floodlights, which would greatly enhance our training sessions for all age groups—from Under-7s to seniors. Ideally, we would like to install 22 new lights, at a cost of £775 + VAT each. We have been fortunate to obtain some sponsors, but we still need help to install the rest
Every £1 helps so if you can donate to help our community, we would be incredibly grateful.
We know this is a significant challenge, but with your support, we can make it happen.
Thank you for helping us continue to grow and thrive!
