“The girls’ rugby camp was so well organised and offered excellent, high-quality training sessions throughout the day. Having the Chiefs players there was a massive bonus and left my daughter feeling truly inspired. She’s now more determined than ever to one day be part of the Chiefs line-up."
“I’d also like to extend a big thank you to Sika for sponsoring the day. For many families like ours, things are quite tight at the moment and opportunities like this can sometimes be out of reach. The 50% sponsorship made it possible for us to take part, and we’re genuinely grateful for that support."
“Thank you again for such a brilliant day. We really appreciate the time, effort, and enthusiasm that went into making it happen."
