Local football team looks ready for promotion drive

Castle Cary Football Club can thank local company, Crown Pet Foods, for looking the part as they prepare for a major push to secure a quick return to the county’s Premier Division. The disappointment of last year’s relegation to Somerset Senior Division One was a distant memory as the club took delivery of its new kit sponsored by the company’s Royal Canin brand of super premium dog and cat food.Willingness to learn, confidence and pride is critical for success on the football field,” says Club Manager Tony Pike. “Every member of the club is absolutely delighted with the sponsorship, especially as it has been confirmed so early in the season.”

During a recent visit to the Club, Crown Pet Foods’ Managing Director, Jean-Lin Pelatan, was introduced to the team as they wore their new kit for the first time. “We’re very pleased to help the local football team in this way and we wish them every success for the rest of the season.”

“Our reliance on significant sponsorship cannot be overstated,” says Club Chairman Brian Silvester. “The support of one of the area’s major employers is a real boost for us – not just for covering important costs, but also in terms of our own credibility and the sustained development of the club within the community. I am confident such sponsorship will help to fuel further success on the pitch and as we have Charter Standard Development Club status, this will help us to realise our longer term plans to find a new permanent base for the Club.”
