LAST week local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes, swapped hard hats for cricket bats to become official kit sponsors for Thame Town Cricket Club.

The company presented the club with a new kit last ahead of their first team game against Gerrards Cross which saw the club take victory over their close rivals.

Paul Moran, Sales Director for David Wilson Homes Southern commented: ?The cricket team is an important part of the local community in Thame and we are glad to show our support with this sponsorship. The club is just a stones throw from our Windmill Place development so it seemed fitting to lend our support by providing the new kit. I understand the team?s season has got off to a good start and I hope that this can continue throughout the summer.?

Angus Lachlan, Club Chairman for Thame Town Cricket Club commented: ?As well as our new kit, the club are also delighted with the new training nets we?ve obtained thanks to David Wilson Homes sponsorship. The support means that now our club can really develop from a small country club to a local club with a real professional attitude. The new kit has really boosted moral and we now have great team spirit building amongst all players in all teams.?

The club currently has over 200 members aged between eight and 60. With a number of teams in various local leagues, the club are always on the look out for new recruits for both junior and senior teams. To find out more please visit: LINK
