Halstead Templars Rugby Club had a chance to thank their sponsors when they headed to the Little India restaurant for their festive meal and get together.

A total of 30 players, members, committee and guests enjoyed a meal provided by the staff and at the end of the evening, Mr Shahaad, proprietor of the restaurant, was presented with a framed new Templars shirt (pictured) as recognition of his sponsorship and continued support.

Templars social secretary, Aeron Stubbs, said: “We thank all the club’s sponsors and supporters for their backing so far this season.”
