_new-kits-for-pembrokeshire-teams-thanks-to-39new-york-welsh39-network.webp "During the recent Bank Holiday, Tenby native Ty Francis MBE founder of the New York Welsh diaspora network - returned to his Pembrokeshire roots for a tour spanning three local rugby clubs, aimed at reinforcing the sport’s grassroots initiatives. <br/>Kicking off in Milford Haven, Ty gifted a new rugby kit to the Pembrokeshire Vikings, a mixed-ability squad led by Andrew Meddings and Simon Gardiner. <br/>Their commitment to creating a space where players of all abilities can thrive on the rugby field was celebrated with a #JerseyForAll. <br/>Notable attendees included co-sponsor Dom Barrett, MP Stephen Crabb, and MS Samuel Kurtz, with club captain and Special Olympics multi-gold medalist, Bleddyn Gibbs as the honoured guest.<br/>Ty then proceeded to Pembroke Ladies Rugby Team on Monday morning to unveil their latest kit, supported by the New York Welsh community, including contributions from Charlotte Jupp, originally from Saundersfoot, and Glenn Treacher of The Liberty NYC. He was joined by Club Chairman Richard Jelley, Chloe Jones, Jennifer Harvey, and Samuel Kurtz MS were in attendance to mark the occasion.<br/>The bank holiday tour concluded at Tenby United RFC’s Clicketts training ground, where the South Pembs Sharks girls rugby U16s and U14s teams were presented with their New York Welsh branded kits. Ty met with Jamie Barrellie, who oversees the hub, to celebrate the launch.<br/>This initiative held a personal touch for Francis, as the jerseys bore the initials ETS to honour his late aunt Estelle Townsend-Smith, a native of Narberth, who was also a staunch advocate for women's and disability sports. <br/>“She was a very proud supporter of what we do for female and disability sport, so it seemed fitting to have her initials on the sleeves,” he said.<br/>Since 2019, Ty along with his wife Alayna, a New York City Communications Executive, have been instrumental in equipping over a thousand Welsh individuals across women’s, girls’, and disability sports with new kits through their organisation, JerseyForAll.org<br/>Ty, a former Greenhill Comprehensive School pupil, expressed immense gratitude towards the local sports community in Wales and highlighted the invaluable support of all the volunteers. He voiced concern about challenges grassroots sports face, including a recent setback for Tenby United’s second XV by the Welsh Rugby Union, prompting questions about the union’s commitment to grassroots sports.<br/>“I’m thankful for the time and effort the coaches, managers, and volunteers put into supporting women’s and disability sport in Wales. Alayna and I are fortunate to be able to help provide the kits, but the real work gets done on and off the pitches by the players and support staff. <br/>“I’m also very grateful for the consistent support that Stephen Crabb MP and Sam Kurtz MS have offered. Grassroots sports are the lifeblood of local communities, and we are deeply disheartened to not see support from organisations like the Welsh Rugby Union and the Welsh Government.”")
