WEYMOUTH Rugby Club have boosted Steve Blackmore's quest to promote the sport worldwide.
Blackmore will be visiting Ethiopia in October, with bus in tow, and the Seasiders have provided him with a range of kit, including shirts, tracksuit bottoms and balls, to take on his journey.
Blackmore, who is also hoping to raise over £10,000 for the charity CLIC Sargent, said: "I would like to thank the club for their kind donation and I'm looking forward to, hopefully, organising a Weymouth v Ethiopia rugby match during the trip."
Anyone interested in donating to or sponsoring Blackmore's trip can contact him on 07980005469 or via email at spooky388@hotmail.com
