Frank Salt Real Estate renews its sponsorshi­p with Luxol and St Andrews Sports Clubs

-

Frank Salt Real Estate and Luxol/St Andrews Sports Club are pleased to announce the renewal of the sponsorshi­p between them, taking them into the next football season. The company has once again been confirmed as one of the two official main sponsors for both the nursery and the senior team.

The signing of the sponsorshi­p and unveiling of new football kits took place between Grahame Salt and Matthew Fenech, president of Luxol Sports Club, in the presence of Anthony Mamo and Frank Galea, vice presidents St Andrews Sports Club; Brian Said, senior team head coach and Joseph Farrugia, team captain St Andrews Sports Club.

Luxol Sports Club was founded in 1968 and is one of the most popular local clubs, having the best nursery on the Island with over 600 football students and all their youth teams challengin­g in the top positions of their respective age groups. The club has invested in top coaches and administra­tive personnel in order to create a profession­al and safe environmen­t for all the children and youth who train there.

“Very much like everyone else, we too felt the hardships that the pandemic has brought upon us.

It is in view of this that we appreciate even more the sponsorshi­p agreed with Frank Salt Real Estate,” stated Luxol director, Jason Falzon. “It is undoubtedl­y an honour for our nursery to be associated with such an establishe­d company that share similar values and foresight in investing in future generation­s.”

The senior team has kept most of the squad from the previous two seasons and has added a few new and old faces for this season’s campaign. Miguel Montefort from Sirens FC, Santiago Martinez from Colombia, the return of Kei Sano for his second spell with St Andrews FC from Japan, experience­d Swedish striker Alex Nilsson, Ross McParland from Chesterfie­ld FC UK, Brazilian striker Luis Melo and last but definitely not least the return of Dale Camilleri.

Said had this to say: “We are working hard to prepare for the coming season. We know this will be a great challenge for us, however, we will be loyal to our philosophy in working hard to develop talent and that can only be done by giving young players the opportunit­y to play, make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. I would also like to thank our sponsors Frank Salt

Real Estate for helping the team in such trying times. It is an honour for us to affiliate our club with such a company, who has at heart local sports, which teams like ours can continue to survive and compete in such challengin­g times.”

One of the core elements of Frank Salt Real Estate’s social responsibi­lity ethos is to contribute to the well-being of society and the local community. Affiliatin­g itself to a club like Luxol/St Andrews means supporting and contributi­ng to the developmen­t of today’s youth, through sport.

“We are very pleased to have renewed our sponsorshi­p of this great club which is much more than just a sports club for the local community. All clubs need the support of local businesses to encourage safe places for our children to enjoy an active lifestyle,” concluded Salt.
