Stars shine at Christmas Rugby Ball

Over 180 guests celebrated Christmas and an amazing year for Welsh rugby alongside the stars of the game recently when freshbaked's sister company Total Sport Management (TSM) hosted its first annual Christmas Rugby Ball.

Welsh rugby captain Ryan Jones was joined by team mates including Lee Byrne, Jamie Roberts, Alan Wyn Jones and James Hook at the glamorous ball held at the Angel Hotel in Cardiff.

With a champagne reception sponsored by accountants KTSOwensThomas, guests at the gala evening were able to find out more about their favourite player during a special Q&A session and bid for exclusive auction prizes including dinner with Lee Byrne at the Park House Club and a flight with Ian Gough.

Event sponsor Indigo Washrooms Solutions Ltd crowned Ryan Jones ‘TSM Player of the Year 2008’ for his efforts in the Welsh squad, regional team the Ospreys and off the pitch with TSM. And guests partied the night away with The Attic Band providing the tunes for the dance floor.

Jon Hollins, director of TSM, said: “Our guests thoroughly enjoyed celebrating what has been another landmark year in the history of Welsh rugby alongside some of their favourite players. They were able to get their pictures taken with the stars, find out a little more about them, including who takes the longest in the shower, and generally get into the festive spirit. We want to thank the guests, players and sponsors for making it such a night to remember.”
