Arlington Football Club has risen from the ashes after being in the wilderness for six years to reform as Arlington Re-United Football Club – thanks to a sponsorship deal with Sandford Springs Golf Club.
The Hampshire-based golf club has come to the rescue of Arlington Re-United enabling them to reform after a six year absence from division two of the Newbury Football Sunday League.
The sponsorship deal lasts a year and represents Sandford Springs’ commitment to supporting the local community. The deal will see Sandford Springs providing the team with their strip.
Paul Bulger, an Arlington Re-United player, said: “The sponsorship deal means a great deal to the football club. We are happy and proud to be associated with such a well respected golf club in the local community.
“The team folded six years ago because one of the main organisers was taken seriously ill. The club has recently been looking to come back, but due to financial restraints it needed a sponsor. Luckily Sandford GC stepped in and made it possible.”
Alice Walker, membership development manager for Sandford Springs, said: “Sandford Springs is delighted to be the main sponsor of Arlington Re-United. We really wanted to give something back to the community and sponsoring the local football team seemed ideal.”
