The city side will be dressed in purple, rather than their traditional red, when racing this season, a colour associated with chief sponsor Michael Tomalin’s city-based business, the City Auction Group.

The Panthers team for the 2023 Premiership assembled at the City Auction Group premises in Orton Southgate this morning after soggy weather conditions forced them indoors to host their traditional press day.
