Petersfield RFC is delighted to confirm that Nightingale Court Care will continue as a Principal Partner for the 2026/27 season, extending a partnership that continues to play a significant role in the club's development both on and off the field.

Based in nearby Waterlooville, Nightingale Court Care is a purpose-built residential care home founded by proprietor Mark Doran. Since opening in 2021, the home has established a reputation for providing compassionate, person-centred care in a welcoming environment, placing a strong emphasis on creating a genuine sense of community for its residents. Those values closely align with Petersfield RFC's own commitment to supporting people, building relationships and making a positive impact beyond the rugby pitch.

As the club's Official Analytics Partner, Nightingale Court Care is helping to drive innovation across Petersfield RFC by supporting the technology behind the club's performance programme.

The renewed partnership will continue to fund the club's Framesport Analytics platform, enabling coaches to analyse matches in greater detail, provide tailored feedback to players and gain deeper insight into both team and individual performances.

New for the 2026/27 season, Nightingale Court Care's support will also allow Petersfield RFC to expand its use of GPS tracking technology across the club. Alongside the senior men's programme, youth teams will now have access to GPS trackers, giving coaches and players valuable data on physical performance, workload and player development.

This investment will give players and coaches throughout the club access to elite-level performance insights that are rarely available in grassroots rugby, further demonstrating Petersfield RFC's commitment to creating one of the best playing and coaching environments in the region.

The renewed agreement also sees Nightingale Court Care retain a prominent presence on the club's playing kit. Throughout the 2026/27 season, the company will feature on the sleeve of the Petersfield RFC 1XV match shirt and on the back of the senior men's playing shorts.

Petersfield RFC Chairman Stuart Barden welcomed the continuation of the partnership.

"We're incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Nightingale Court Care. Mark Doran and his team have been fantastic supporters of Petersfield RFC and their backing goes far beyond having a logo on a shirt."

"This partnership is helping us provide opportunities that many grassroots clubs simply don't have access to. Expanding our analytics programme and introducing GPS technology to our youth teams is another major step forward for the club, and it reflects our ambition to continually raise standards for every player who pulls on a Petersfield shirt."

Everyone at Petersfield RFC would like to place on record a huge thank you to Mark Doran and the entire team at Nightingale Court Care for their continued support. Their investment is helping players and coaches throughout the club benefit from technology that will aid development for years to come, while their commitment to supporting local organisations continues to make a real difference within the wider community.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with Nightingale Court Care throughout the 2026/27 season and building on everything we can achieve together as Petersfield RFC continues its journey towards its centenary year in 2027.
