They are one of 12 grassroots rugby clubs across the country to be awarded a training session with three Premiership Rugby players.

In addition, the club received £1,000 worth of training equipment.

The prizes were awarded to clubs who demonstrated how winning the training session and equipment would benefit the development of the club.

The judges were impressed by Wiveliscombe's community spirit and continued growth despite having a small, rural catchment area.

Their enthusiasm and understanding of the game also shone through in their entry.
