Film company on the ball for local cup finals
STOCKPORTBASED broadcaster FilmMyMatch has been commissioned by Manchester FA to film all 16 local cup finals taking place now until May 2018.
FilmMyMatch, based in Broadstone Mill, Stockport, provides grassroots sports filming services.
It will have professional operatives and elevated camera mast systems at all 16 finals to capture the full game, from when the teams walk out of the tunnel until the trophy is lifted.
Participants in every Manchester FA County Cup Final – from Girls Under 12 Youth Cup to the Manchester Premier Cup – will have the opportunity to access a bespoke Cup Final package video (including team line-ups, live score, goalscorer names and match highlights) at a rate of less than £10 per player.
Dave Roe, director of FilmMyMatch, said: “We have already worked with more than 2,000 grassroots teams, including rugby, hockey and football as well as under-represented sports, in partnership with sports governing bodies and tournament organisers across the UK.
“Manchester FA have been enthusiasts from the start and have helped us pioneer affordable film-making at grassroots level.”
Highlights from all finals will be posted on Manchester FA’s website and social media channels within a few days of the game.
Teams that purchase the full Cup Final package will receive a secure email link to the footage which can be shared with players, coaches, family and friends and downloaded and saved.
