Director of Sponsorship Chris Gnapp, said: “Babbé have been our Gold Sponsor for over fifteen years and whilst their decision to end that partnership at the end of this season was met with sadness by all within the club, we have been extremely lucky to have had them partner with us and very grateful for all they have done.”

“The club has been through some incredible changes and progression in the last fifteen years, both on and off the field. To have a partner such as Babbé with us on that journey has been extremely valuable and the support they have given us has been incredible. Babbé is continuing to support the club in various other ways, not least through sponsoring our academy so we look forward to continuing to welcome the very familiar faces to Footes Lane for many years to come.”

Babbé added: “Babbé’s ethos is based on excellence, honesty, respect, accountability and unity; values similar to the five core values of rugby and ones which we have watched the Raiders tirelessly display over the past decade and a half. It has been our absolute pleasure to have been a Gold Sponsor of the team over these 15 years, particularly the back-to-back (home and away) Siam’s in 2022!”

“Whilst we will continue to support the Academy and the Siam Cup, we feel the time is now right to pass (pun intended) the opportunity of supporting the Guernsey Raiders to others. We wish you all the very best and may the fourth be with Guernsey!”

Thank you Babbé for your support.
