Sport & Exercise sponsors EUWHC

The four-year deal will enable the team to play, train and perform to the highest standards as they prepare for the 2016 EuroHockey Championships.

“University Sport & Exercise is delighted to become principal sponsor of EUWHC and to build on our existing strong relationship and the support we provide to the coaching and the Team Performance Programme. We already share the same values and ambition, and our enhanced relationship will now open up new, mutually beneficial and ground-breaking opportunities for us both to ‘Play.Train.Perform’ at even higher levels over the next four years.”

The contract was signed by Jim Aitken and Club Captain Madeleine Smith on Tuesday 24 November at Peffermill Playing Fields. Smith said: “I am delighted that Sport & Exercise have agreed a four-year sponsorship deal with EUWHC. It is crucial for the Club's long term development that we partner with like-minded and supportive companies and Sport and Exercise embody the play, train, perform mentality that the Club prides itself on.”

EUWHC has an outstanding sporting record, having won the BUCS Trophy for the past three years and competing in both the BUCS Premier North League and Scottish Premier Division I. The players have also been Scottish Cup Champions in 2014 and Scottish National League 1 Champions in 2015. With this support from Sport & Exercise, they are in an excellent position to build on this success over the next few years. EUWHC is comprised of 9 teams in total and this sponsorship package ensures that all its players will have the resources to compete at the highest level in their various championships and leagues.  

This sponsorship will help the girls greatly. It allows the XI1s to train at higher intensity in the gym, improving their fitness and performance to a standard that is crucial for Europe. It will be good to further the development for the XI1s which will enable them to play at higher level, home and abroad
