On a warm June evening under the glow of festoon lights and the grand marquee situated on the pitch of the GRAF UK Stadium, Banbury Rugby Union Football Club marked an incredible milestone – their Centenary Ball.
As supporters of the club and sponsors of the stadium, we were proud to stand behind such a momentous occasion. It wasn’t just a celebration of rugby, it was a celebration of people, community, and legacy.
The night brought with it all the glamour of a bygone era, with guests dressed in dazzling 1920s-inspired attire and black tie, and the sounds of live jazz and high-energy music echoing through the stadium. But the real magic lay in the crowd itself: a room full of passionate club members and supporters who’ve helped shape Banbury Rugby Union Football Club into the beating heart of local sport.
“It was a true honour to support Banbury Rugby Union Football Club in celebrating 100 years. To see so many club members, past and present, come together in the GRAF UK Stadium was a real reminder of how powerful local sport can be in bringing people together. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in organising such a memorable evening. Here’s to the next century.” – Matthew Rolph, Managing Director – Graf UK Ltd
