New Club Sponsor For Sphinx

Coventry Sphinx are delighted to announce a lucrative new sponsorship agreement with Coventry based company Mortgage4Review. The Holbrooks based company will be the main club sponsor and will also be the name seen on the shirts worn by first and reserve teams for season 2008/09. Sphinx officials are predicting that this deal will be the catalyst for the club to move forwards after what has been a topsy turvy debut season in the Midland Alliance.

Having gained promotion to the Midland Alliance for the very first time in April 2007 Paul Charnley's young side have struggled to find the consistency required to keep them towards the upper reaches of the division but the fantastic FA Vase run, culminating in a record attendance at Sphinx Drive in the quarter final replay defeat to Kirkham & Wesham, and a place in the Polymac Services Midland Alliance League Cup semi finals have restored confidence that Sphinx are progressing and will be able to more than hold their own in their new surroundings of the Midland Alliance next season.

The financial details of the sponsorship agreement are not being disclosed but Sphinx Vice Chairman Neil Long was delighted to finally attract a major sponsor saying, "Having spent the last 7 months and endless hours talking to several companies about the possibility of coming on board, from the very first meeting I had with Mortgage4Review Managing Director Paul Fawkner only 8 weeks ago I knew that this was a guy who shared our desire to take the football club forwards. Paul's enthusiasm is infectious and he has already begun introducing us to other interested parties who also wish to come on board in what is a very exciting time for the club"

Long admits that the FA Vase run was an obvious attraction but insists that elimination does not have any bearing on the structure of the deal, "Paul and myself met a few days before the Stanway Rovers game and with Paul due to depart for a fortnights skiing holiday in France we agreed to meet again on his return. We met 24 hours before we were due to travel to Kirkham and within an hour we had agreed the deal and Mortgage4Review was emblazoned across the shirts in time for the quarter final tie in Lancashire.

Since our replay defeat, Paul has been fantastic in his support to the players and management and is really keen to get started and has already shown that he is here for the long haul which is obviously great news for all concerned"

The sponsorship deal will mean that Sphinx can continue to run their highly successful and productive reserve team in the Midland Combination Reserve Division for another season whilst also invest funds into other areas of the club that require improvement which it is hoped will enable manager Paul Charnley to keep his much sought after squad together and also build for next season.

Mortgage4Review Managing Director Paul Fawkner was also delighted with the agreement saying, "We are delighted to be able to put something back into the community at the same time as being part of something that I am passionate about. Football has always been of great interest to me and to be able to help in this way makes sense especially to a local team and being a Coventry kid. I wish the team great success, both the players and the management are fantastic as they always put in 110% and deserve to flourish"
