Some major sports shops will do football and rugby kits for like £120 for a team but I dont know if thats cheap.

I am a PE teacher in Runcorn and we found that buying from kit firms was far far too expensive.

We buy from our uniform suppliers who source stuff from a buyers catalogue. For instance each shirt is £12 each with the school badge on. You can have the traditional rugby shirt style but we now have a smart modern one which has stripes on the shoulders and sleeves.

The boys play in the same shirts as the girls but we added Girls Rugby League in pink under the badge and pink numbers - they love em!

Our uniform suppliers are Slaters of Wigan but your local firm will surely do the same? Many schools have quite modern PE kits now

Thanks folks, some excellent suggestions here and in PMs. Suddenly things are looking very rosy. I knew I could rely on the RL community for help and advice. My co-coach, who's an RU man really, couldn't believe some of the help and advice we've been offered today !

It's literally 2 minutes of a job and could well make up the difference you need from the £200.
