We thought we would take the opportunity to meet one of our sponsors. Mark Pearce of Mark’s Mobile Butchers, the best mobile butchers in the country.

Name? Mark Pearce, nickname ‘The Bull’ or from the team after the tour to Falmouth ‘Churchill’ (we will let Mark tell that story)

Age? 42

Playing Position?
Was an inside centre then a no8 – now retired through injuries

When did you start playing rugby?
From school. Played for Stithians RFC, Truro RFC and a Cornwall combination team

Rugby Hero and Villain?
Rugby hero was Will Carling the ex-england captain

Best Rugby Memory?
Carrying my opposite number literally from their 22 running with him and scoring. Still talked about when I go home

Quick-fire:

Drink? Anything
After match meal? Was always too nervous to eat before a game
Perfect woman/man? (Mark didn’t answer this but one look at the pictures of him and Vickie and you know who he thinks is his ideal woman) He did mention something about a lovely Canadian player we have as his ideal man.

And finally why did you decide to sponsor Yate RFC?
I loved the spirit of yate, starting with nothing but great determination. I joined a team like that it was great.

All the players and supporters of Yate RFC would like to thank Mark for his continued support and sponsorship. If you are at one of his sites make sure you go and buy and stock up. You will not be disappointed.
