A pizzeria is teaming up with a rugby club to help prop up support to reduce the club's costs.

Dough So Good, based in Radcliffe Market, have had a busy 12 months and owners Rhyse and Patricia Cathcart expanded the operation, opening sites in Wigan and Stockport.

The owners say that working in their community is important and has always been part of their values.

And this year they are proud to sponsor Whitefield-based rugby union side Sedgley Park Tigers.

Patricia, also known as Mama P, said: “It’s been an amazing year for us, we are proud to be trading in all our sites and building relationships with our partners and wonderful customers.

“We are delighted to sponsor Sedgley Park Tigers, the lads really look great in their training tops and we wish the team all the best for the season.”

Coach Bradley Cross said: “It’s great that this season we have been able to get a local business to support our team.

“It really helps the club and team to reduce costs that could prevent some players from getting involved.”

Head coach Aaron Dobbs added: “The club appreciates support from our local business.

“Dough So Good are a fantastic local pizzeria and are a hidden treasure in our locality based just down the road in Radcliffe Market.

“We look forward to working with them and are sure that the team will be well fed!"
