RENEWED PARTNERSHIP WITH CORNISH PIRATES
We delighted to have renewed our partnership with the Cornish Pirates for the next two seasons!
The deal, which builds on the partnership that began in 2018, will see Thatchers remain as the club’s official cider at the Mennaye Field Stadium in Penzance.
We’re delighted that Thatchers is becoming ingrained in the club’s matchday experience, and the renewed partnership will see an increase in the our presence at the Mennaye. Thatchers Gold and Thatchers Haze remain as the exclusive ciders sold at the stadium, as well as in the hospitality marquee on match days and branding around the ground will include our distinctive yellow post protectors.
Having provided player Sponsorship for Alex Schwarz during the last six years, we will again be sponsoring a Cornish Pirates player, with an announcement due shortly.
New for this season, The Pirates will be announcing the Thatchers Try of the Match for each home fixture, with the player presented with a case of Thatchers Gold Cider, the West Country’s most popular pint.
Cornish Pirates Head of Media, Marketing and Commercial, Ross Hancock said; “This is a fantastic partnership for us and we’re delighted to continue working alongside Thatchers who have always been huge supporters of the club, since we started the journey with them in 2018.”
“We pride ourselves on working with local brands and companies and will continue to do so, but to have one of the South West’s most well known drinks brand, Thatchers, forming a part of our network is a massive coup for us and we hope that continues for many more years to come” he added.
Philip McTeer, Head of Marketing,Thatchers Cider said; “We’re proud of our longstanding relationship with Cornish Pirates and their outstanding achievements of recent years. We continue to invest in rugby in the South West and we look forward to joining the Pirates faithful with a pint of Thatchers Gold in the seasons ahead.”
