Cup sponsorship up for grabs

With the 2016-17 competition's first round kicking off in early October, officials at the EVO-STIK League's Southern's HQ in Gloucester are looking to team up with a new commercial partner to tap into the competition's long history and wide appeal.

Last season's winners Merthyr Town are pictured being presented with the competition's magnificent Worcester Vase and the EVO-STIK League Southern are now inviting businesses and organisations interested in tapping into the competition's long history and wide appeal across a vast geographical area to come forward.

"The EVO-STIK League Southern's geography covers a large area of southern England, the Midlands, the South West and Wales so the sponsor can look forward to enjoying wide exposure of their branding."
