POINTFORE SPONSOR SQUASH WALES
POINTFORE have just signed on the dotted line to sponsor Squash Wales – Junior Squash Skill Awards with a funding which will benefit all the junior squash clubs and players throughout Wales. We have always believed in devoting a large majority of funds available into sponsoring junior squash players believing that they will be our players of the future. Squash is basically a team sport that needs revitalizing and where better to start than with junior players. Get them keen and interested when they are young and we will have captured their interest in the game for some 40 years!! In addition to this, Squash Wales have just extended the existing contract we have with them for another year – meaning Pointfore will retain their title for being the ‘official grip for Squash Wales’ until February 2005.
