Sponsorship boost for Stratford CC
STRATFORD Cricket Club has been given a huge boost with the news that REPL Group has renewed and expanded its sponsorship of the club.
As well as shirt and venue branding, the deal sees REPL sponsor the man of the match award for every first and second team home game and the annual Sportsman of the Year Trophy.
With the additional increase, 2016 sees the company adding support to the junior section of the club, which runs from under-nines through to under-16s.
“We are delighted to be able to expand our support for grassroots and community sport through Stratford-upon-Avon Cricket Club,” said Mike Callender, CEO of REPL Group.
“We became involved in 2015 because we could see that the club had put in place a strong plan for success both on and off the pitch.
“The remarkable results achieved across the club, from promotions for the first and third XI teams to the inspirational growth of the junior section, showed what they could achieve with the right backing.”
Stratford Cricket Club’s commercial director, John Shurie, welcomed the announcement, saying: “We were delighted when REPL first saw the potential for community engagement and sporting excellence at this cricket club.
“I like to think that it is a real endorsement of what has been happening at Swans Nest Lane that they have further backed us for the season ahead.”
