This new partnership will see the practice support all divisions of the club – including Men’s, Women’s, Mixed, and Junior teams – with the Stephen Evans Optometrists logo proudly featured on the back of both match shirts and training kits.
The opticians say this support comes as part of its ongoing commitment to community engagement and making sport more accessible and affordable for all. By helping to cover kit costs, the sponsorship plays a vital role in reducing expenses for club members and their families.
The driving force behind this partnership is Henry Evans, former rugby union player, dispensing optician, and Director at Stephen Evans Optometrists’ King’s Road practice. His passion for sport and dedication to community wellbeing has inspired the practice’s active involvement in supporting local teams.
In 2024, he proudly represented Wales, narrowly missing out of the quarter finals in the Men’s 30s division at the Touch Rugby World Cup, held at the University of Nottingham.
He said: “As someone who’s played and loved the game for many years, I know how important it is to keep sport alive and accessible in our communities. Our sponsorship of the Gower Dragons is about more than just branding – it’s about giving back and helping people enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of sport without financial strain.”
The practice continues to champion active lifestyles by advising patients of all ages on how to safely enjoy sport through tailored optical solutions, including specialist sports glasses and contact lenses suitable for those aged 10 and above.
