In a remarkable turn of community support and dedication to fostering local sports, Key Principles has proudly sponsored Manning Women’s Hockey Club, one of Nottinghamshire’s oldest and most cherished sports teams. Based in West Bridgford and with a rich legacy, this one-team club has paved the way for women’s sports in the region for many years.
A Proud Legacy
Manning Women’s Hockey Club holds a special place in the county’s heart. As one of Nottinghamshire’s oldest clubs, it boasts a unique history and a reputation for passion on and off the field. Despite being a one-team club, they play in the Midlands Division 4 and have previously competed in the Notts Premier Division, showcasing their remarkable prowess and commitment to excellence.
This season, the club embarked on an ambitious recruitment drive, strengthening its squad with new players. This surge meant new team kit was required, and Key Principles stepped in to make sure the team was well-equipped to face the season ahead.
Key Principles: A Local Champion
The decision by Key Principles to sponsor Manning Women’s Hockey Club came from a genuine desire to support local sports and encourage women’s participation in sports. Previously, Key Principles sponsored Notts County Football Club, illustrating their longstanding commitment to helping sports organisations.
“As a netball player and a mother to a daughter who loves sports, supporting local teams is close to my heart,” shared Terri Foster, Paid Media Manager at Key Principles. “Our sponsorship of Manning Women’s Hockey Club aligns with our values of promoting girls’ and women’s sports and keeping them active, fit, and engaged.”
Values and Community
At its core, Manning Women’s Hockey Club strives to provide a friendly, welcoming, and inclusive environment. They measure their success not only in terms of victories but also in the camaraderie and fun that each member experiences. The club organises a variety of social events and outings, from summer BBQs to exhilarating hikes in the Lakes.
Making a Difference
Thanks to Key Principles’ sponsorship, Manning Women’s Hockey Club now has brand new kit, connecting the team and enhancing their visibility within the community. The financial support sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting season.
“It’s great to see Key Principles sponsoring our shirts,” said Daniela Gould, a key organiser behind the new kit. “We’re so grateful for their support and look forward to sharing our successes throughout the season!”
Looking Forward
As the club gears up for the new season starting on Saturday 27 September, there’s an unwavering spirit of excitement. The aim is to continue thriving in the higher divisions while ensuring everyone enjoys a fun-filled, competitive season. Manning Women’s Hockey Club remains committed to building on its legacy, strengthening its community ties, and achieving great highs on the hockey field.
