iRG Repair Group sponsorship for local rugby
iRG Repair Group sponsorship will support Andrea Lang-Cosh for her second season with Dowlais Women’s RFC.
Lang-Cosh is a customer service advisor at the Merthyr branch of Wales’ largest repair group.
The company’s sponsorship will provide off-field club kit such as tracksuit, waterproof jacket, fleece and gilet to Lang-Cosh, who took up the game a decade ago when her twin sister Alex invited her to training.
The siblings enjoyed tremendous success with Deri as the team progressed from the lower leagues to the Admiral Women’s National League Premiership division including an unbeaten season when they did the double by lifting the Championship title and winning the cup.
The club folded in 2023 and the sisters moved to Dowlais, who play in the third tier of Welsh rugby in the East Wales League.
Wonderful memories
She said: “I only intended to go once to keep Alex company but I ended up staying and the rest is history. Like being at work, it’s great to be part of a team and playing rugby has given me some fantastic times and wonderful memories.
“I’m 41 now and last season was going to be my last but I’ve decided to give it another year so it was brilliant when iRG came forward with their offer of sponsorship.”
