Holt Rugby Football Club is hoping to keep "shining a light" on upcoming talent by installing new eco-friendly floodlights - but it needs help to do so. 

The club is aiming to raise £100,000 for the LED lights at its grounds off Bridge Road, High Kelling.

A spokesman said: "It's fair to say that the club has risen from the Covid-19 lockdown in good heart and has taken great strides forward since.  

"Our first 15 have enjoyed back-to-back promotions and our age-grade membership is strong.  

"Sadly, though, some of the physical infrastructure is coming to the end of its useful life and is outdated and uneconomical - in particular, our floodlights.  

"Those floodlights allow us to provide our youth teams and adult players with the opportunity to train during the week in the evenings, but are starting to fail and are inefficient to run - meaning unnecessary cost and environmental impact.

"Upgrading to modern LED lighting units now will provide us with a more sustainable future and ensure that we can keep shining a light on rugby talent."

The club has already raised more than £20,000 towards its goal. To donate, visit www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/holt-rfc-night-owls
