Hockey club gets new kit thanks to sponsorship
A hockey club has a new playing kit thanks to sponsorship from a children's nursery.
Sheepwash Farm Day Nursery has signed a three-year sponsorship deal Lichfield Hockey Club for the new kit, which will be worn by all adult and junior members.
A group of adults and youngsters was asked to design a new kit last season, and negotiated a deal with supplier Adidas. The sponsorship deal has enabled the club to offer the kit to players and members at a reduced rate.
Nursery director Charmaine Eagles said she felt proud to see her business's name on the shirts.
Neal Critchley of Lichfield Hockey Club thanked the Sheepwash Farm, which is based in Whittington, saying the cost of the kit was particularly important at the moment.
“The club wanted to refresh its match and training kit of many years," he said.
"A special new kit committee was created by the club with senior and junior players, plus parents analysing clothing, brands, colours and design options.”
