We feel proud and privileged to be able to align our brand with such a well respected sports franchise that serves its local community with such passion and vigour. We hope that our involvement will help take the Hoops for Health programme, in particular, to a whole new level and of course as a fan I can't wait to see what Paul and his exceptionally talented team can achieve on court"
