Long before becoming household names, before the brand deals, and professional contracts, and the celebrity of it all, our favourite sports heroes started somewhere else. Their local grassroots club. They are the foundation of the entire sports ecosystem. Without them there is no talent pipeline, no coaches, no Ronaldo, no Messi, no Federer, Nadal or Djokovic, no Joe Root, Ben Stokes, no nobody. They are often run by passionate volunteers and sustained by communities which is exactly why Shelbourne Motors Toyota announced its sponsorship with Armagh Cricket Club. This is a group of dedicated people, bringing fun and development to the local community.
Through the Smash It programme we helped supply equipment like personalised bats and boost development for the coaches during the club’s Monday night Power Cricket – a summer Cricket camp for kids ages 4-11 years old. Walk into the club on a Monday night and you’ll come across more than a game. You’ll see parents volunteering, kids learning team work, different generations interacting and communities coming together. The air is electric with cheering, laughing, parents mingling, an experience reminding us of the importance of these types of sponsorships.
Harry Doyle, one of the youth coaches, commented: “Our association this year with the Smash It programme has been brilliant. We’ve been able to bring more volunteers in, been able to enable more coaching resources, and not only are the kids developing, the coaches are developing as well.The funding we have received we’ve been able to procure some more equipment which will help develop club Cricket here in Armagh. We’re very grateful for the support.”
Participants in the 6-week courses or holiday camps learn batting, bowling, and fielding under the guidance of trained Club Activators. Every child who registers for the programme receives an official Smash It playing kit, which typically includes a T-shirt, backpack, bat, and ball which they can bring home and continue practice even beyond Monday Power Cricket. We’re extremely proud to sponsor Armagh Cricket Club and help promote the amazing work they do bringing the sport to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
Shelbourne Motors Limited trading as Shelbourne Motors Portadown, Shelbourne Motors Nissan, Shelbourne Motors Newry, and Fleet4u is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Shelbourne Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase. Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
