BRU Close In On Sponsorship Deal

The new sponsorship deal will see league winners pocket prize money, with P35,000 budgeted for winners in the various leagues. BRU president, Dave Gilbert told delegates at the union’s annual general meeting (AGM) in Gaborone that they are in the final phases of negotiations with four sponsors.

The development comes at a time when rugby has been struggling to secure league sponsorship for many years. Gilbert said they are hopeful the agreements will be signed by the end of March. “This will be positive in driving rugby forward and will grow participation country wide. There will be prize money for the league winners for men and women.
