The Grassroots game in the County is set to get a boost with the support of Cumbrian Cottages who will be coming on board to support the Cumberland FA County Cups for season 2019-20!

With the deal set to begin in earnest, Cumbrian Cottages will be supporting the Adult competitions from now on as well as the County Veterans Trophy and the U12 and U14 Girls Plate and Trophy Finals this season, with the sponsorship deal building into the new season.

The partnership, which will see Cumbrian Cottages getting involved in the Grassroots game in Cumberland for the first time will increase the profile of the beautiful County with holiday cottages in fantastic locations as well as the beautiful game!

Cumbrian Cottages is part of the Cottages.com family, the UK’s number one holiday letting agents. Cumbrian Cottages provide a friendly and face-to-face service to help those with homes across Cumbria let their property to holidaymakers. Cumbrian Cottages provide all holiday cottage owners with a flexible and professional service that meets their needs and helps owners let their property in a stress-free way.

Helen Aitchison from Cumberland FA commented “The deal is in the early stages with talks ongoing to support the County Cup competitions. We’re very excited to welcome to the team a fantastic locally based company to deliver 11 Cup competitions ranging from Under 12s to Veterans in the male and female local game”

With the Junior draws and early rounds of the adult competitions regularly made live on Cumberland FA’s Facebook page, it means this may go ‘on the road’ to Cumbrian Cottages locations!

In the 2019-20 season the Cumberland Cup will see the return of the ‘Team of the Round’ award, to reward the teams who beat the odds to progress in the oldest and most prestigious Cumberland competition. A £100 Kit and equipment voucher from Kitlocker.com will be provided by Cumbrian Cottages.

The partnership will also see Cumbrian Cottages offer additional support to local Clubs in the form of advertising boards further increasing the support to the local Grassroots game (more information to follow).

Mark Whitehouse (Mark@Cottages.com) commented “We’re delighted to become partners of Cumberland FA for the remainder of this season and next season. We are looking forward to getting to know the grassroots football family whilst putting something back into the local community.”

More details of this exciting new partnership will follow - in the meantime if you’ve got any ideas on how we can make the County Cup experience better (sorry we can’t offer free holidays!) let us know!
