SSSC donated £7,500 to Sale Sharks Academy to help cover the cost of the Mini Bus and contribution to the hardship fund.

 

Dear Sale Sharks Supporters Club,

I trust this letter finds you well, I am writing to say thank you  for the support you have provided sponsoring me with a new pair of boots for the upcoming academy season.

It is with great excitement and appreciation that I received the boots recently, and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I had the opportunity to use them during a practice session this week. Your generosity has already had a positive impact on my preparation for the upcoming season with the Sale U18 academy.

I would also like to recognize the work of the Sale Sharks Supporters Club , nurturing and promoting rugby talent. It has left an impact on my family. My two eldest brothers also had the privilege of playing for the academy, and they recognised the support their squads received from the club and its members.

Please extend my sincere thanks to all the members of the Sale Sharks Supporters Club.

With appreciation and respect and I will try get a photo.

Luis  Ghaut  RIP

October 2014

 

Sale supporters heading down to Franklin's Gardens on Saturday 11th October are advised that Northampton are planning that the match should be a commemoration of the life of young Saints supporter Luis Ghaut who sadly passed away last week at the age of 13.

 

Luis had fought a brave battle against Osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer and over the last year or so had grown very close to the Northampton players and staff. Highlights included leading out the team for last season's Premiership Final at Twickers. In the words of one tribute left on Twitter, 'not many 13 year old boys can claim to be a hero to their heroes but Luis Ghaut could'.

 

Luis and his family have been fundraising for Sarcoma UK and as well as passing on our condolences to his family, the SSSC have made a donation of £100 in his memory. The Sale Sharks Community Department have joined us in passing on their condolences and have donated tickets to the return match against Saints at the AJ Bell in January which can be raffled off to raise funds. 

Sale supporters whishing to read up on Luis's brave story can read a BBC article here:

You can read moving tributes left by Northampton players on his Twitter account:

RIP Luis

On Friday evening Sale Sharks Supporters Club invited 'West Coast Crash' to AJ Bell Stadium to witness Sale Sharks' 15 - 3 victory over London Irish. As part of our ongoing commitment to support the North West’s National Wheelchair Champions SSSC presented the charity with a cheque for £1000.

 

SSSC Donation to Kieran's trust fund.

In the photo, amongst Crew & Nantwich friends and supporters were (L to R) Tony Buckley and Tom Holmes, Roger Bowen (Chairman - SSSC)  presenting a cheque to Jon Cockburn (C&N Chairman) and SSSC committee members Joe Parsonage, Sandra Smith (Treasurer) & Adrian Seddon.

 

A bucket collection was held at the Worcester Warriors match at the AJ Bell stadium. The collection raised £1463.05 towards the trust fund set up to help Crew & Nantwich centre, 20 year old Kieran Flynn.

 

Kieran had a catastrophic accident when he broke his neck in a pre-season rugby match. Unfortunately he has recently learned that he will not recover feeling below his waist and will be confined to a wheel chair. His courage in the face of this devastating injury is frankly quite humbling and we, the rugby family, have rallied around this brave young man.

 

To all those who contributed.... A very big "Thank you" for your genorosity! It means so much to Kieran and his family!

 

The collection was organised by Sale Sharks Supporters Club in collaboration with Sharks Community Trust. Members of the SSSC committee and Kieran’s team mates and friends from Crew & Nantwich Rugby Club manned the buckets throughout the stadium. The SSSC also presented a cheque to Jon Cockburn, Chairman of Crew & Nantwich RUFC, on the pitch at half time to the value of £250 towards the fund.

NEW CHARITY PARTNER for SSSC

Half Time Pitch Side Presentation

Back Row  - Sharky, Gill McDonald, Ryan Sheridan, Stan Smith, Adrian Seddon, Andy Powell, Lee Stutely & Dwayne Peel.  Front Row  - Sandra Smith, Danny Dawould, Martin Norris, Alan Ash, Myles Pearso, Ayaz Bhuta, Chris Ellis (Assistant Coach) & Roger Bowen (SSSC Vice-Chairman)

The SSSC committee has conducted a review of our charitable contributions. Our membership is fairly diverse with many different interests in life, bound by a common love of rugby and Sale Sharks. The same can be said of our members charitable preferences, which I’m sure are just as diverse. We feel that as a rugby supporters club, our charitable contributions should reflect this common love which bonds us all together. The SSSC is therefore delighted to announce our new charitable partner, the North West Wheelchair Rugby Charity (Reg: 1070676).

 

Based at the North West Spinal Injuries Unit in Southport, the charity promotes the sport of wheelchair rugby and provides an avenue for rehabilitation through sport as well as providing sporting opportunities for people with a disability. The charity operates the West Coast Crash team and last season won the national league title for the 1st time. Following the success of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the league has expanded this season to 2 divisions and the charity will operate a team in each league.

 

We are marking our new partnership with a donation of £250 worth of equipment for the team - a new tool kit to maintain their specialised wheelchairs and spindles and tyres for the chairs. We invited members of the team to join us at our home match against Harlequins (Friday, 22nd February) and presented them with the equipment on the pitch at half time. Amongst those attending was Crash player Myles Pearson who represented team GB at London 2012.

 

Anyone looking for more information or the latest results of the North West’s only wheelchair rugby side in the national league can go to their website at www.westcoastcrash.co.uk or follow them on twitter: @wccrashwrc or on Facebook: West Coast Crash Wheelchair Rugby.
