“It has been a pleasure and privilege to be invited to play a part in the club’s celebrations. The commitment of all involved to make this happen has been admirable.”

Taking to Facebook, Sunak has been back in the black and gold of Wensleydale recently, celebrating their recent promotion:

“Thanks for the lift, Wensleydale RUFC! Great to catch up after a history-making promotion to the top division and with the Wensleydale Heifers in their first ever season. Hope everyone is having a good Easter holiday wherever you are.”
