Pictured celebrating the launch of the partnership are new Warriors signing David Lemi, June Ross of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and CF sufferer Iain McComish, who plays prop for St Aloysius.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is one of the Glasgow Warriors official charity partners.

Glasgow Warriors are a professional rugby club based in Scotland's biggest city. Week to week, they play against teams from Ireland, Italy and Wales in the RaboDirect PRO12, and also compete in the northern hemisphere's biggest club competition, the Heineken Cup.

The Warriors have some of the leading players in Scotland on their books, nine of the squad being selected to take part in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Glasgow Warriors chief executive Kenny Baillie commented: "We're privileged to be welcoming the Cystic Fibrosis Trust as our third official charity partner.

"The cause is close to the club's heart, as we know the devastating effect that the condition can have. With the work being done on gene therapy, there is a real prospect of advances that could have genuinely life-changing implications for thousands of people.

"The aim of the partnership is to help in some small way to raise awareness, and ultimately funds, for this incredibly valuable project."
