United servcies Portsmouth Dave Reed of The White Horse recently took the time to tell us more about his positive association with the club, saying, “I moved to Portsmouth nine years ago. I have two sons that play for the club and am an ex-player myself. I was a hooker and also played outside centre. My oldest son David plays in the 1st team as a second row and my youngest son Jake also plays as a second row in the 2nd team. Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife so am able to get to as many games as possible. We have sponsored the club for eight years now and I’d encourage everyone involved to work hard, play hard and continue to enjoy your rugby.” THE WHITE HORSE Pub & Dining Positioned along the Southsea seafront, The White Horse Pub is just a stone’s throw away from the centre of Portsmouth.
