"We applaud Nashua for renewing their commitment to cricket in South Africa and in particular for their continued support as title sponsor of the Nashua Titans team. Nashua has been a committed sponsor of the team since 2002 and has increased its investment in the Titans over this period," commented Nashua Titans CEO, Elise Lombard.
"Nashua Titans Management and the team of players are committed to ensuring that collectively we make Nashua proud of their association with the Titans by delivering on our obligations. The importance of domestic team sponsorship cannot be underestimated, as the franchise system is the nurturing ground for Protea players. Thank you Nashua for recognising the fact that the power of sport transcends beyond corporate image and branding at stadiums - your sponsorship gives the Titans the means to craft a sense of community and national pride as we strive to excel on and off the cricket oval," continued Lombard.
"It's great to have Nashua renew their sponsorship of the Nashua Dolphins. The current relationship stretches back many years and we are thankful to Nashua for their continued support in these tough economic times," said Jesse Chellan, CEO of the KwaZulu Natal Cricket Union and the Dolphins.
"The new squad has prepared well for the season and the addition of world class stars such as Kevin Pietersen and Ravi Bopara, augurs well. I am sure the Nashua Dolphins will spring a surprise or two this season," continued Chellan.
Graham Rhodes, Managing Director Nashua Limited commented that, "Nashua Limited is proud to be a sponsor of the Nashua Titans and the Nashua Dolphins. South Africa is a proud cricketing nation, and we as a true blue South African company relish the opportunity to 'give back' by being involved in cricket. As feeder systems for the national team both our teams enable our young, talented players to come through the ranks and represent their country at the highest level."
"We wish the Nashua Titans and Nashua Dolphins all the best for the upcoming season and hope to see both teams in the finals of the respective codes," concluded Rhodes.
David Jenkins, MEGAPRO CEO stated that, "we are extremely pleased to have facilitated Nashua's ongoing commitment to South African cricket. We believe that Nashua's commitment to supporting these two successful franchises will continue to deliver great results."
South African cricket is in the global spotlight and the game continues to go from strength to strength. AB de Villiers won the ODI Player of the Year award at the LG ICC Awards in Bengaluru last month, beating off tough competition from India's Sachin Tendulkar and the Australian duo of Shane Watson and Ryan Harris. "These are truly exciting times for brands to connect with cricket loving audiences," continued Jenkins.
