ScottishPower Women’s Highlands and Islands league ready for Mother’s Day kick off with new official ball deal
The ScottishPower Women’s Highlands and Islands League kicks off this Mother’s Day backed by Scottish Women’s Football’s partnership with RJM Sports and uhlsport to provide match and training balls for all teams.
Buckie Ladies, Caithness, Clachnacuddin, Nairn St Ninian, Orkney Women and Sutherland will start the season with new balls, as the deal allows SWF to provide match and training balls to every team in the league and league cup competition, which this year is joined for the first time by Shetland Women.
The Highland and Island clubs are the latest to benefit from the agreement, which not only provides a financial saving to all senior teams, but RJM Sports will also see SWF clubs receive a discount for further purchases on kit, equipment, footballs, goalkeeper gloves and trophies/medals.
Commenting, Scottish Women’s Football CEO Aileen Campbell said: “We are tremendously excited to see the ScottishPower Highlands and Islands League kick off this Sunday on Mother’s Day. At Scottish Women’s Football we are acutely aware of the rising costs for clubs and this is particularly across the Highlands and Islands.
“This exciting partnership allows us to provide uhlsport quality match balls and training balls to every single team in our senior leagues. Our thanks go to Robert at RJM Sports and to Brian Hutchinson of uhlsport for providing us with a fantastic service and for their commitment to supporting the grassroots women’s game in this way.”
RJM’s Robert Marshall said: “We are delighted and excited to build our partnership with Scottish Women’s Football into the Highlands and Islands, as the Official Ball and Trophy Supplier. Although we already deal with several teams within the SWFL structure, we feel that this agreement can help not only promote ourselves but significantly improve the support for the women’s game across the country.”
Uhlsport lead for Scotland and Northern Ireland, Brian Hutchinson, said: “uhlsport as a brand are honoured to be working with Scottish Women’s Football, and together with RJM Sports, we are bringing quality products and service to a fantastic organisation and looking forward to an exciting future with all partners.”
