LIONS’ JCB BACKING EXTENDED

LEICESTER have received an early winter boost with a two-year extension to their main team sponsorship deal with Watling JCB.

The locally based JCB franchise have been backers for the majority of the Lions’ time at their Beaumont Park home, and they stepped up as full sponsors in 2017 with the relationship now heading into a second decade.

Co-promoter Jen Crossland said: “It’s fantastic news for the club and we couldn’t wish to be working with better people as main sponsors.

“To be going into a second decade as the Watling JCB Lions, and to have the stability of a two-year deal, is such a boost for everyone.

“We can’t thank them enough for what they bring to the club, and we’re looking forward to the next two years with them on board once again.”
