The wood flooring firm has sponsored the club’s kit for the new season for £400, and the club has received a further £400 from Sportsmatch Cymru to support the club’s drive to attract new players to the club.

Nick Gibbs, managing director of Westco, said: “As a long-established Cardiff firm, Westco is keen to support organisations in the local community.

“We’d not heard of korfball before.

“But we thought it would be a good opportunity to get involved with a sport that’s fast-growing and attracting many new players around Cardiff. We’re going to get some of staff playing too!”

Sian Hunt, of the Dragons said: “We’re really grateful to Westco for their support of the club and are really pleased this has been match-funded by the Sports Council to help us attract new players to try korfball.

“The funds have given Cardiff Dragons a real boost and will mean we can continue to grow the club and ensure that korfball remains alive and kicking in Wales.

“We’re always looking for new players who can join us at Western Leisure Centre in Ely on a Thursday night for training.”

Sportsmatch Cymru is a Welsh Assembly Government business incentive scheme for sport in Wales, managed by the Sports Council for Wales.

It is designed to encourage more business backing for grassroots sport by matching new or additional sponsorship pound-for-pound.

Chairman of the Sports Council for Wales, Philip Carling, said: “Businesses in Wales play a huge part in the sporting success of our nation and we can only continue to excel if we invest in tomorrow’s champions now.

“In return, sports sponsorship offers businesses the opportunity to achieve commercial marketing objectives by raising brand awareness and increasing customer loyalty.”

Just to remind everyone, we have a game on thursday during the second
half of our training session against Uni 2.

Games are an hour long, 4 boys, 4 girls and we can make 2 subs.

The plan is to pick the team before the game and give everyone a
chance to see how a game is played.

See you Thursday.

Cheers

Steve
