Thompson Estates are delighted to be involved with the Wasps Legends versus Channel Islands rugby match in aid Wooden Spoon charity.

The Heritage group sponsored match is being held at Footes Lane in Guernsey on Saturday 01 September featuring various ex internationals stars including the likes of Kenny Logan, Damien Cronin and Alan Buzza just to name a few. The Channel Island side is made up of a selection of Jersey and Guernsey players and ex players who are prepared to dig out their boots in aid of this rugby dedicated charity.  Thompson Estates are sponsoring two of their sales negotiators Matt Davenport-Brown and Stewart Barrow to play for the Channel Island side. Matt, originally from Wellington in NZ has been playing in Jersey for the past 10 years.  Initially with Les Quennevais Sharks and then representing the Jersey Rugby Club at both 1st XV and 2nd XV level, competing in two Siam Cups. Stewart, who’s playing days started at the tender age of 7 for Kent College, moved to De La Salle College at the age of 14 where he represented the Island. After leaving school Stewart joined the Beeches Old Boys. After a year playing in Australia he returned to the island to captain the Old Boys before joining the Jersey Rugby Club. He has played for over a 17 year span for 1st XV, 2nd XV and ultimately the Jersey Wanderers. 

Both players are looking forward to this fantastic opportunity to support the Wooden Spoon Charity and play against some great names in the world of rugby.

Matt explains his love of the game

After coming to Jersey with my brother Guy and fellow New Zealander Ian Henderson in early 1998 to play for the Jersey Rugby Club, I now call this Island home.  I have enjoyed playing for the Jersy first XV and the Les Q sharks over the years, and would like to play one more year and another Siam cup if the body holds up, these are exciting new times for Jersey Rugby Club even in the last 10years I have seen plenty of change.
