The Under 11s Derby Rugby Football Club has kicked-off the season with a new kit, and Balls2 Marketing makes its debut on the pitch as a first-time kit sponsor.
After giving the kit its first outing as mascots for Derby RFC’s first team earlier this month, the young side broke in the new kit at their home fixture against Amber Valley RUFC on November 6.
Adam Richardson, coach for the Under 11s, said: “Thank you to Balls2 Marketing for sponsoring the Under 11s team at Derby Rugby Club, the kit looks fantastic, and the lads couldn’t be happier with it. Welcome to the team!”
The eye-catching Balls2 Marketing bright-pink logo stands out on the kit and will almost certainly make it easier for players to see their team-mates across the pitch.
“We love the way our logo really stands out on the back of the shorts, and it’s on the team’s hoodies as well,” added Sarah Ball, joint MD at Derby-based marketing agency, Balls2 Marketing.
“It’s our first ‘try’ at corporate sponsorship, and we are very happy to have our brand associated with the team and club. DRFC has a well-earned reputation as one of the most accessible and inclusive clubs in the region. Sponsoring the kit is a win:win as it helps the team with their kit costs, and gets Balls2 Marketing involved at a grass roots level in our home city.
“After the agency moved into new premises on Stores Road in 2021, we were keen to get more involved in the local community. Our sponsorship of the Under 11s team is part of this plan. And we are thrilled to be able to help keep these players on the ‘ball’, if you’ll pardon the pun!”
