Kent League unveil two-year sponsorship deal

Wednesday 03rd August 2011

HURLIMANN lager has signed a two-year sponsorship deal with the Kent Football League, supporting 30 football clubs across the county playing in its premier, first and second divisions.

The Swiss-style beer will support the renamed Kent Hurlimann Football League with pitchside hoardings at all league grounds and programme advertising through the next two seasons. It will also provide branded footballs for each man of the match.

In a statement published today, Kent League chairman Denise Richmond said: “The Kent League provides great competition for our teams and helps clubs move up the non-league pyramid.

“We're sure that this deal will help us to push forward at an exciting time for football in Kent. I’m sure all our clubs will join me in welcoming Hurlimann and will give it their full support."

Louise Weatherstone, Hurlimann brand manager, said: “It’s great to share our love of football with players and fans across Kent. Hurlimann and football is the perfect match for what promises to be an exciting season, so look out for some exciting activity at matches across the county.”

Hurlimann has also signed a sponsorship agreement with Chatham Town. It is investing in the club through branded training shirts, match sponsorship and programme advertising.

Meanwhile, promoted side Hythe Town welcome runners-up and Kent League Cup winners Herne Bay to Reachfields Stadium on Saturday (3pm), to contest the Kent League Challenge Shield, which is the annual curtain raiser to the new season.
