NEW smocks are in order for one Newton Abbot rugby team after a local Freemason Lodge gifted them a cheque.

Newton Abbot All Whites’ under fourteens team were presented with the cheque by Tony Lamar of the Freemasons Devon Lodge 1138.

The Masons’ Christmas gift will be used to buy new, pre-match smocks for the team.

The smocks will keep the squad warm on match days and prevent the playing kit from getting filthy before kickoff.

Tony, who is the Lodge’s charity steward, said: ‘The atmosphere at the party was buzzing, really good to see.’

The All Whites held their Christmas party at Rackerhayes on Sunday, December 15.

And they break for the festive period, returning in the New Year with their new smocks!
