McDonalds renew Rugby Trust sponsorship

International fast food giant McDonalds has signed a four year sponsorship renewal with the Welsh Rugby Trust and FAW.

Speaking of the extension Neil Ward, chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Trust, said: "More and better-trained coaches is a winning formula for a healthy grass-roots football structure."

Alastair Marks, McDonald's' head of sponsorship commented: "Over the last eight years we have enjoyed worked to help improve the level of football throughout the country and over the coming four years we are looking to work together to build on this success.

"Our primary focus is to continue to help raise the standard of coaching throughout Wales"
