As we look ahead to the 2026/27 season, we’re absolutely delighted to announce that The Strand will once again be our Main Kit Sponsor.

This will be their fourth consecutive season supporting Whitehaven RUFC, having first come on board for the 2023/24 campaign. Over that time, their backing has meant a great deal to everyone at the club and has helped us continue to grow both on and off the pitch.

Grassroots rugby simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and commitment of local businesses, and we’re incredibly grateful to Lindsay and everyone at The Strand for their unwavering support of Whitehaven RUFC. We know the past year has been an incredibly difficult one, and we’re especially thankful that they have continued to stand behind the club throughout. Craig was a great supporter of Whitehaven RUFC, and we’re honoured to continue our partnership with The Strand, whose support has meant so much to our club.

From everyone at Whitehaven RUFC, thank you for continuing to believe in and support our club. We’re incredibly proud to wear The Strand name on our shirts once again and look forward to sharing another season together.
