This episode is in partnership with green king IPA who've been championing grassroots sports clubs through their proud to pitch in initiative.

Now we like to think of this podcast as you pulling up a stall at our table in your local rugby club and just chatting about the sport we love and during the rugby World Cup

I hope that's exactly where you go to a club or a pub near you that's serving green king IPA because since 2021

10P from every pint at participating pubs and 50P from every promotional pack goes directly to grassroots sports and grassroots sports clubs

Well, they can apply for funding of up to £4,000 to help with their rising costs and recently this initiative passed £500,000 in grants given away.

So while you're watching Antoine de Pont, Ardi Sevier, Malcolm Marks tearing it up in France at the World Cup

you can also do your bit for your local team and for the volunteers who keep grassroots sports going.

And all you have to do is enjoy a refreshing, hoppy ale and raise a glass of green king IPA.

Right, on with the pod.

Awesome, awesome start!
