AFC CANNOCK TOWN BOYS CELEBRATE THEIR NEW KIT THANKS TO RENAULT CANNOCK

NEWS FROM RENAULT CANNOCK                         

For immediate release: 16^th September 2011

Young footballers have been given a chance to wear their team name with pride thanks to sponsorship from Renault Cannock.

The AFC Cannock Town Boys under 10s have had their kit paid for by the dealership, something the self-funding club would not have been able to afford otherwise.

Coach Ben Round said the help from Renault Cannock meant a great deal to the players, who felt more united and part of a successful team when playing in their new football shirts.

He said: “We have a vision for our club and what we want the players to achieve, so it felt right to approach a successful and well-respected local business like Renault Cannock, to help with sponsorship.

“Without the sponsorship, some of the players would not have been able to afford to pay for the kit.

“The boys are growing all the time and the clothing gets worn, If Renault Cannock hadn’t agreed to help then we would have been wearing the same kits we had before, much of which doesn’t fit.”

Ben, who shares the role of coach with Paddy Birch, said the sportswear provided by Renault Cannock was of the highest quality and is specially designed to remove sweat from the players’ skin during an energetic match.

AFC Cannock Town Boys team has been very successful since its formation three years ago, most recently winning the Lichfield League Shield and finishing top of the Lichfield division two league.

Ben explained that scouts from Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion had seen the team in action and four players were now attending their premiership academies for development coaching.

Ian Smith, Sales Manager at Renault Cannock said: “We wanted to help AFC Cannock Town Boys be the best they can, and we are proud to sponsor their kit.

“They are all so passionate about the sport they play and it is fantastic to know that Renault Cannock is helping them achieve their ambitions.”
