Like many Welsh cities, the residents of Newport are fiercely supportive of their local teams – and with numerous clubs for rugby, football, speedway and squash, there is always plenty of sport to watch. If you’re more of a player than a spectator, you shouldn’t struggle to find some good Newport sports shops – and not just the big-name players like JD Sports on Commercial Street or JJB Sports at Newport Retail Park.
Pure Rugby is based in Austin Friars in Newport – and is a specialist rugby shop that sells many famous brands such as HAKA, Shock Doctor and Rugbytech. You also have Macey Sports on Caerleon Road that is an independent cricket specialist that also provides equipment and clothing for racket sports, bowls and football.
