Ayr are top Trumps as club agrees deal with Turnberry
Ayr Rugby Club has announced a new partnership with Trump Turnberry resort for the 2019/ 20 season.
The link- up will see Turnberry focus on the Ayr Ladies and Junior teams.
The Ladies formed in 2012 and have risen quickly to compete in the top tier of Scottish women’s rugby.
And they will proudly display the Turnberry logo on their shirts as part of the partnership.
The partnership will also see Turnberry named as the sponsor for the Ayr Rugby Mini Tournament.
The club, which this season launched the new semiprofessional Super6 side, the Ayrshire Bulls, is riding high with its profile rarely enjoying better exposure.
Ralph Porciani, General Manager at Trump Turnberry, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Ayr Rugby this season.
“This felt like a natural partnership as both the rugby club and the resort have a long history in Scottish sport.
“We recognise that sport should be for everyone, which is why we are focusing our sponsorship on the junior and ladies teams.
“We wish the club the greatest of success for the future.”
Jim McKay, Ayr RFC President, added: “It is great to have Turnberry on board as a prestigious, internationally renowned brand and an Ayrshire hotel with close ties to the community.
“As a club, we have grown our ladies and junior sides and recently launched the Ayrshire Bulls.
“The partnership with Turnberry will further enhance the clubs position in the heart and centre of the community.”
