Buckingham RFC Head Coach Mikey Clark said the fund had enabled the club to purchase GPS trackers for players.

He said: “Whilst predominantly purchased with our women's teams in mind, the trackers are also being utilised by the men. They enable us to monitor player performance and make real-time decisions during matches."

"This performance-based tool gives us a live data feed on the number of metres covered by individual players, their speed and whether they're fatiguing. It's a great way to track how the players are performing so we can make the necessary adjustments as well identify areas where we can focus training and player development.”
