The rugby community across Wales is being asked to nominate their very own clubhouse hero

Principality Building Society is searching for the country’s Clubhouse Champions – those who have worked hard to make their local clubhouse feel like home.

A panel of judges – including Wales’ top try-scorer Shane Williams – will choose 15 winners to form the Unofficial Squad. The chosen heroes will receive the honour of being a Clubhouse Champion for 2022 and will be given VIP treatment by Principality at Wales vs Italy on March 19 at Principality Stadium, including box seats and a meet and greet with a player from the current Welsh men’s squad.

To nominate your Clubhouse Champion, entries will need to be submitted before midnight on Sunday, February 13. Those nominating a Clubhouse Champion will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win tickets to Wales vs Italy on March 19.

Julie-Ann Haines, Principality’s Chief Executive said: “With the Welsh team returning once again to their home pitch this season, as title sponsors of Principality Stadium we want to celebrate the deserving club heroes across the country for the continued effort they give to their home club.

"We’re not only looking for somebody who turns up each week to carry out their usual duties, but somebody who make the clubhouse feel like home, who makes it a special place to be a part of.”

Shane Williams MBE said: “Like so many, my love of rugby started at my local club, Amman United. The clubhouse has always been at the heart of the community and it’s the community that makes the clubhouse.

"There are many people in Ammanford and across Wales that work hard to make our rugby clubs what they are. I can’t wait to hear the many amazing stories from clubs across the Nation.”
