Ilkeston RUFC Colts Team will be keeping warm during their winter training sessions, thanks to the backing of Derbyshire County Councillors. The councillors donated a combined total of £600 from their Derbyshire County Council Community Leadership Scheme to provide funding for training tops for the 2016/2017 season.
