Printerland in partnership with Sale Sharks saw Sharks’ Down Syndrome team lead out the players ahead of Sale’s clash with Saracens.

The game took place just before World Down Syndrome Day 2023, and to mark the occasion, both sides wore odd socks to celebrate the ‘Lots of Socks’ campaign.

The campaign was launched to raise public awareness about Down syndrome and the sock motif was chosen to highlight the fact that people with the syndrome have an extra copy of the 21st chromosome which is sock shaped.

The Sharks Crusaders Fin Club was launched in 2020 and named in recognition of Sean Browne, who played for the team until his death in 2022. The name comes from Sean’s favourite team, which was the New Zealand Super Rugby side, the Crusaders.

The Sharks Crusaders Fin Club holds rugby sessions every other Sunday at Sharks’ Carrington training ground. To learn more about Sale Sharks’ Fin Crusaders Club, visit Disability & Inclusive Tag Rugby | Sale Sharks.

The Sharks Fin Crusaders Club players’ families were there to see the game with tickets donated courtesy of Printerland.

Sale Sharks Brand and Community Manager and Women’s player Vicky Irwin said: “This was our third year of wearing odd socks in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day.

“Our ethos as a club is being much more than rugby, and we have the world’s first Down syndrome rugby team, which is growing year on year. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to play rugby and we are leading the way on this.

“The Sharks Crusaders Fin Club are part of our club DNA, and we will continue to raise awareness and support the community through internal club activities.

“Programmes like this need the support of partners like Printerland. Their commitment to growing the game and making sure everyone has the chance to get involved is perfectly aligned to what we’re trying to do.”

Printerland MD Graham Vickers said, “This game was a fantastic platform to raise awareness about Down syndrome. It’s an honour to be able to donate these tickets to the children and their families. Everyone involved has gone above and beyond to highlight the condition.“

The donation was made as part of an ongoing inclusivity programme in partnership with Sale Sharks and Printerland. The commitment has seen Printerland donate more than 10,000 matchday tickets to local charities in recent years and aims to introduce the game of rugby to underrepresented groups in the Northwest.

20 members of Droylsden Academy enjoyed a rugby training session and will attend a live game thanks to a donation from Printerland in partnership with Sale Sharks Ruby Club.

The group of year 10 girls were coached by Sale Sharks stars Tumy Onasanya and Ben Bamber as part of the ongoing Project Rugby inclusion programme.

Sale Sharks Brand and Community Manager Vicky Irwin said: “We have a responsibility to be so much more than just a rugby club and that means growing the game and introducing people to both the sport and the club.

“Our players are a big part of that, and it was great to see Tumy and Ben throw themselves into the Project Rugby session with the girls at Droylsden.

“The girls loved it and thanks to Printerland they get the chance to see the men’s team in action next week in a really important game against Bath.

“Without the support of partners like Printerland we wouldn’t be able to reach new audiences so we’re really grateful for their continued support.”

“Printerland MD Graham Vickers said, “This was a fantastic learning experience for the girls and hopefully it will spark a lifelong interest in the game of rugby. We’re dedicated to introducing the sport to new audiences and to offer the opportunity for this group to attend the game against Bath is a real pleasure.””

The donation was made as part of an ongoing partnership between Printerland and Sale Sharks which aims to increase participation in the game of rugby within traditionally underrepresented groups.

Printerland MD Graham Vickers collected the commemorative game plaque on behalf of Sale Sharks after a dramatic clash with Ulster Rugby Club.

The Saturday face-off which took place in the Kingspan Stadium, Belfast saw Ulster gain a 22-11 victory over Sale Sharks securing them a spot in the Heineken Champions Cup.

Unfortunately, the defeat saw Sale Sharks knocked out of the competition in front of the 15,000 strong crowd.

Additionally, all other match tickets will receive a 25 percent discount when purchased with a Blue Light Card, the UK’s leading discount service for emergency services, NHS, social care workers and armed forces.

Sale Sharks Sales and Marketing Director Claire Butters said: “Our emergency services do an incredible job looking after us, keeping us safe, healthy, and supported and going the extra mile for us all every single day.

“We want to be so much more than just a rugby club, so this is our way of giving back and saying thank you to our frontline heroes at a time when we all know the cost of living is increasing all the time.

“Printerland have been an incredible partner for Sale Sharks for a number of years now and they’ve supported so much of the work we’ve done with inclusion and introducing our game to new audiences.

“We’re really grateful to them for supplying the free tickets and we really hope to see as many of our frontline workers as possible down at the AJ Bell Stadium for some of the big Premiership games coming up.”

Printerland MD, Graham Vickers said:’ “To be able to offer this type of support to frontline emergency service workers is a real privilege. Anything that we can do to help ease the burden during the cost-of-living crisis can make a real difference to the men and women who support these vital services.”

Printerland, in partnership with The Sale Sharks Foundation welcomed more than 50 veterans and current serving military personnel to watch Sale Sharks face-off against Gloucester which saw the Sharks win 27-17.

The tickets, donated by Printerland were donated to the veterans who are members of the Sharks Forces programme which helps to support former service personnel whilst they transition back into civilian life.

Currently serving members of the Royal Lancers attended the match in full uniform, displaying an array of kit and weapons to supporters who attended ahead of the game.

Just before kick-off the Royal Lancers paraded onto the pitch, creating a guard of honour to welcome the players onto the field, whilst the match ball was delivered to the centre spot by Trooper Will Hadden.

Sale Sharks Foundation Mental Wellbeing Manager Eddie Owen, who runs the Sharks Forces programme, said: “Moving from military to civilian life is a huge transition for all who have served in the armed forces.

“This often leads to a minority of service leavers facing a range of social and mental health-related problems. Sharks Forces is about helping to break down these barriers and help veterans live longer, happier lives.

“It was fantastic to welcome so many of the Sharks Forces participants and their families to the AJ Bell Stadium to mark the Armistice. It’s an important moment in the year for us all to focus on what these men and women sacrifice for us.”

Printerland MD, Graham Vickers said:’ “It’s great to mark Armistice Day in this way. The work of the Sharks Forces programme is invaluable for ex-servicemen and to be able to bring them to a game like this is a real pleasure.”

The donation was part of an ongoing inclusivity programme in partnership with Printerland and Sharks Community Trust.

R-Kids was set up by Clare Finch after her son was diagnosed with an aggressive brain and spinal cancer at the age of eight. Now 15, her son struggles with loneliness and isolation, and finds it difficult to make and maintain friendships due to needing so much time off school.

The R-Kids community group works to support children suffering from brain tumours and their families. Claire hopes the community group will grow into a charity so she can help as many families as possible.

The families enjoyed an exciting 35-27 Sale Sharks win against Newcastle Falcons. For many of the community group members, this was their first experience of a live Premiership Rugby game.

Sharks Community Trust’s Community Manager Vicky Irwin said: “Claire does some incredible work through R-Kids to support families just like hers and it was our pleasure to host them at the AJ Bell Stadium.

“A big part of our work at the Trust is all about introducing rugby to new audiences and most of the group were watching a Sharks game for the very first time. It was a fantastic occasion so hopefully we’ve got some new Sharks for life.

“Work like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of partners like Printerland. With their help we can introduce underrepresented groups to the sport and Sale Sharks to new audiences and offer our support to groups like R-Kids.”
