Harrogate estate agent supports women's rugby team

Wednesday, 12 November 2025 14:53

Players Emily Attwood and Kelly Morgan with Verity Frearson's Teddy and Matthew Stamford.

Local estate agent Verity Frearson are continuing to show their support for Harrogate Women RUFC through an ongoing sponsorship agreement.

As part of the agreement, the Verity Frearson logo will feature across the team shirts and advertising banners will be in place at the Apollo Capital Stadium on Rudding Lane.

Harrogate Women RUFC team Captain Emily Atwood said:

“We’re incredibly grateful for all the support we continue to receive from Verity Frearson.

“Their investment in women’s sport in Harrogate is admirable and something we are honoured to be a part of.

“Harrogate Women RUFC are excited for another season backed by such a stand out organisation and we are proud to display the logo on our new shirts.”

She added:

“We are currently playing in NC1 and working on promotion to championship.

“NC1 North is predominantly lake district based so the team are enjoying some very serene surroundings on the long coach trips up!

“Such trips are a great expense in itself, so we are extremely grateful for the support of our sponsors, such as Verity Frearson who facilitate us to keep playing the game that we love.”

Verity Frearson is an award–winning Harrogate-based estate agent, which has thrived within the town’s residential property market since 1921.

Verity Frearson Managing Director, Matthew Stamford said:

“We’re delighted to support the Harrogate Women’s Rugby team for the 4th year running.

“As a business we’ve always been keen to support grass roots sports within our town and the whole ethos at Harrogate Women RUFC fits in really well with the Verity Frearson brand.”

Harrogate Women RUFC is fairly new side within a well-established club at Harrogate, established in 1871.

Training takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm – 8:30pm at Harrogate RUFC, Rudding Lane, with league fixtures scheduled on Sundays (not every Sunday) throughout the year.
