Mitsubishi Motors is to pull its sponsorship of Bristol Rugby Club at the end of the 2004/2005 season.

Jim Tyrrell, managing director of Mitsubishi Motors UK says: “After four great years with the club we have decided to step down as primary sponsor when the current contract expires at the end of July. We have been extremely proud of our association with Bristol and feel that now the right time to hand over to a new sponsor.”
