TOTNES Rugby Club launched a fundraising appeal back in January as they looked to raise the money to purchase a scrummaging machine.

They had a GoFundMe page and along with promoting it on social media, were very successful and donations soon started to come in.

The club are now delighted to announce that due to hard work and perseverance, they have been able to purchase the machine.

With the colts players having never used this particular equipment before, they were at the forefront of the decision but it will also accommodate the senior men’s and women’s team.

Totnes RFC would like to thank everyone who made this possible, grants and donations from Totnes Town Council, Exeter Chiefs Supporters Club and Hunts Cider in particular, making a real difference. Aramis Rugby at South Molton were a big hope too.

The colts are now looking forward to the start of next season with scum training very much on the agenda!
