LOCAL FOOTBALL CLUB SCORES SPONSORSHIP
6th November 2003

A local football club is celebrating, following the news that it has scored a cash investment from a Ceredigion-based software company and the Sports Council for Wales.

Crannog FC, Cardiganshire league division 1 side, has sealed a deal with Pugh - the educational software specialist based in Llanon. The deal has been match funded by the Sports Council for Wales's Sportsmatch Cymru scheme, resulting in a total cash boost of £1,200.

The club now plan to plough the cash into developing and improving facilities, purchasing equipment and improving the skill levels of club members, players and also members of the local community.

Mike Young, Sales Director of Pugh Computers, and treasurer and player for Crannog FC said:

"Crannog is committed to improving our youth and coaching structure with the introduction of a new Under 16s side and the implementation of a coaching development plan that will see Crannog FC become a Football Association of Wales Trust Accredited Club, which will be great for the club and the development of its members."

Jeffrey Pugh, Managing Director of Pugh Computers, enthused:

"By being involved in the Sportsmatch Cymru scheme, not only can we raise brand awareness, but it also gives the business a real, hands on involvement in a local community project in which a number of Pugh staff are involved. This is good for the development of Crannog FC and great for the personal development of our staff!"

Sportsmatch Cymru is an Assembly funded scheme, managed by the Sports Council for Wales, which aims to encourage businesses to invest in sport by offering the incentive of £ for £ match funding.
