Kettering
“I started playing senior rugby as a 16-year-old
in 1973 before they had juniors or colts at the club.
The following year the club started a colts section so
I played for them. Working on Saturdays meant I had
to put my job before rugby and when I changed job
and was able to play I returned straight away. I played
mainly at centre or wing but as the years rolled on I
headed closer to the pack and became a scrum half.”
“I started my own business around 2001 and
realised my rugby career was coming to a close
contributed to me hanging his boots up. I was also
president for a year three or four years ago and loved
it.
“I am delighted for the current first XV, who are

Wayne Jenkins of Wilson Browne Solicitors is a club
sponsor of Kettering Rugby Club. He spoke to Rugby Club
Magazine about the businesses long connection with the club,
saying, “Historically, the companies relationship with Kettering
was with Peter Wilson and after many years and good relations
with the likes of Graham Caldicott there was a short lapse in
our relations with the club.
As a company we like to get the word out there and being
a fan of sport and grassroots rugby, having played a bit back
in the day, we like to help community sport. We have invested
in premiership rugby previously but had to question value per
pound on our investments and are now delighted to support
local sport.
section. Many of the current team have the ability to
play at a higher level and if they move the club will be
happy for them.
“My business Snow Finders have been a sponsor
for five or six years now. Some of my best memories
are from my playing days with my many friends at the
club but also the connections and friendships I made
with other clubs who were as hospitable to Kettering
as I hope they felt we were to them.
“I wants to give the young people of their club the
opportunity to enjoy themselves as much as I have
and wish everyone associated with Kettering the very
best of continued enjoyment and fun!”
Bob Wheeler
Unfortunately, living in Daventry makes it almost impossible
to get to the matches at Kettering as I find rugby and a few
pints go particularly well together meaning taxis home etc. If I
lived closer I would be a regular attender for sure, my aim is to
continue to build links with a rugby club that we feel mirrors the
values of our business.
Peter May and the lads keep me informed of the great
season the guys are having and myself and everyone at Wilson
Browne would like to wish them all the best for the remainder
of the 2018/2019 campaign!”
