Knights Sponsor Local Wizards

The Weekley Rovers Wizards Under 11’s team met with their new sponsors, Knights of Old Ltd, this week where they were presented with their new shirts before getting the chance to sit behind the wheel of an articulated truck.

The team, which consists of 16 players and two coaches, were delighted to be invited to the company’s Kettering depot for a short talk on the company and how it operates, a presentation of gifts and then a tour of the truck and trailer.

Scott Southwick, Coach of the team said: “We are very grateful to Knights of Old for sponsoring and supporting us this year. Having such a recognised local name on the jerseys is an honour and being invited to the Knights of Old premises was a real treat for us. The team is having a good season so far and with this support and a little more hard work from the lads we hope to do our new sponsors proud.”

The Wizards, who have played 11 games so far this season, have won eight and lost three but are only three points behind the leaders with a game in hand so the team are hopeful for a successful end to the season.

Ian Beattie, Managing Director of Knights of Old said: “Sponsoring a local football team means a lot to Knights of Old. We have an important role to play within our community and as a company which employs local people we are hoping to introduce the transport industry to the next generation and also use this relationship as a platform to highlight the dangers that HGV’s can bring.”
