YM net sponsorship from Home Hub
East Kilbride YM’s under-35s have received a double boost from their new sponsors after netting new strips and the chance to save on their household bills.
The Home Hub, an estate agency and mortgages business based in the town, will sponsor the team’s strips for the club’s upcoming season but they have also agreed a‘referral scheme’ with the company that Home Hub say will help players and their friends and family save on costly bills amid the cost of living crisis.
EKYM 35s currently play in the Premier Division of the Football
Central 35s League and the new season begins at the start of March with four pre-season games lined up with North Kelvin, Drumchapel United, Lanarkshire Forrest and Valley Vets.
Kevin McCarthy, co-owner of The Home Hub, said:“We met with manager Andy Dykes and he explained why the over-35s league, and EK YM, is so necessary in keeping up the fitness of men over 35, while adding that because of the cost of living crisis it can be difficult to cover all of their costs.
“Craig and I both used to play football so we do understand how important football is in terms of general fitness as well as maintaining good mental health and, as keen members of the local community, we wanted to find a way to help them.”
Craig McIntosh, co-owner of The Home Hub added:“We really do welcome this new sponsorship agreement.
“We feel we are supporting our local team, individual team members, their families and the local community as well.
“In addition to sponsoring the team, we have offered them a new referral scheme as well.
“This way, the club will continue to benefit from the deal throughout the season and we can help more people to save money by finding the best deals on moving home, their mortgages, home insurances and utility bills.”
Andy Dykes, club manager, said:“I’d like to say a massive thanks to The Home Hub for sponsoring our new set of home strips for the new season.
“As part of our exciting sponsorship deal The Home Hub has kindly agreed to provide our team with a brand new set of strips, as well as offer us an amazing opportunity to raise more money for the team through a unique referral scheme for players, friends and family.”
