New Milton Rugby Club’s II XV has a new sponsor.

The seconds are now sponsored by SO41 Catering, a local catering company known for bringing top class food to the New Forest.

Run by Matt and Lisa Doe, who have a connection to the rugby club as Matt, an award-winning chef, also plays for the team.

Matt said: “The company was named after the postcode where Lisa and I grew up and where we are bringing up our children.

“We use a nose-to-tail philosophy; top quality locally-sourced produce and innovative techniques to create layers of flavour.

“We cater for events and every month we host a supper club in Lymington. We also have a street food truck and have been resident caterers at New Milton Rugby Club for the last three years.

“It gives us great pleasure to sponsor the team and every time I pull on the shirt it makes me proud to be part of the team.”

The rugby club is always looking for new players and training is on Tuesdays at 6.30pm.
