At EBC Group, we are incredibly proud to sponsor Scimitar Storm, a team that exemplifies growth, development, and excellence both on and off the rugby field. This year has been nothing short of remarkable for the squad, and we are thrilled to be part of their journey.
Scimitar Storm achieved significant success this season, winning 1 tournament, finishing as runners-up in 2 other tournaments, and bringing home both a plate and a bowl.
As proud sponsors, what resonates most with us is Scimitar Storm’s commitment to being a development-focused team, rather than just an invitational squad. The team has built a culture of consistency and camaraderie. This development approach mirrors our own values at EBC Group—dedication, nurturing talent, and building for the future.
One of the most rewarding aspects of our partnership has been witnessing the progress of individual players. Three of Scimitar Storm's athletes were selected for GB Sevens earlier this year, a massive achievement. Even more exciting, two of their long-term players, who have been part of the Scimitar Storm family for over three years, are on the verge of receiving full contracts with GB Sevens following the Olympics. We couldn't be prouder to support a team that nurtures such incredible talent and provides a pathway to the elite levels of the sport.
As the season concluded, we saw several of Scimitar Storm’s players move on to other teams, continuing to achieve success. This reinforces what we have always believed—that the development Scimitar Storm offers prepares these athletes to excel wherever they go.
Looking ahead, the future is bright. This year, Scimitar Storm has set its sights on developing more players with the goal of getting them into the GB Sevens setup once again. At EBC Group, we believe in their potential and look forward to cheering them on as they chase their goals.
We congratulate Scimitar Storm on a fantastic year and look forward to another season of growth, success, and exciting new milestones. It’s an honour to be part of their journey, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented team.
