Jersey Rugby Football Club is delighted to confirm its partnership with Ogier – our new Platinum Sponsor.
The three-year sponsorship, which begins in June 2024, will see Ogier's logo feature on the front of Jersey RFC's playing shirts, as well as in advertising displayed at home matches, within the matchday programme and on the men's team training and travelling kit.
The Jersey RFC men’s amateur side re-entered the English Rugby Football Union league structure in 2022 having previously played for nine seasons as Jersey Athletic in the Raging Bull merit table while Jersey Reds competed in the second-tier RFU Championship.
Having been promoted from Counties 1 Hampshire in 2023, JRFC have been competing at level six of the league pyramid during 2023/24. Flying high as the season approaches its climax, the team are on the cusp of a second successive promotion.
Raulin Amy, practice partner of Ogier's Jersey office, said: "We are proud to be new sponsors of Jersey RFC. We have a long history of supporting rugby in the island and this partnership demonstrates our continued commitment to local sport. Ogier shares Jersey RFC's values of teamwork and providing a platform for local talent.
"Going out as an independent club is an exciting chapter in Jersey RFC's history. They have achieved success at national level already and we are excited to join them in the early stages of this journey. We look forward to beginning our partnership this summer and to cheering on the team as Platinum Sponsor. We wish them the best luck for the rest of this season."
Jersey RFC chairman Dan McAlister added: “We’re delighted to be going into next season with a long-term agreement from Ogier to support the club. They have had close ties with rugby in the Island for several years and we know this partnership will be a great fit for both of us.
“Getting re-established in the league system and dealing with recent changes to the rugby landscape have brought challenges for JRFC, but also opportunities, and having an organisation like Ogier on our side leaves us better-placed to move forward in future.”
