Lights, Camera, Action for £10k to improve your Local Football Club

Marine Football Club is brushing up on its directing skills in a bid to win £10,000 to put towards improving facilities at the club, which plays in the Premier division of The Evo-Stik League.

Courtesy of new sponsors Evo-Stik and in partnership with leading builders’ merchant, Travis Perkins, clubs in The Evo-Stik League have the opportunity to bag a £10k Travis Perkins voucher which can be redeemed at any TP merchant nationwide against materials to upgrade club facilities.

The competition, launched by Evo-Stik yesterday is asking clubs in the league to prove on film, in no more than three minutes, why their club deserves to win the massive £10k prize, as well as capturing the essence of non-league football.

Club chairman Paul Leary said; “Marine Football Club is throwing everything including the kitchen sink into winning this competition and is encouraging any of our supporters who have winning suggestions or filming tips to come forward! Evo-Stik is encouraging creativity, humour and artistic license so how we present our entry is completely down to us.

“Improving facilities at the club for both players and fans is always top of the agenda but is often cost prohibitive so we are grabbing this opportunity from Evo-Stik with both hands. Our players, fans and volunteers demonstrate passion for the club and the non-league game week in, week out and to win this investment for them would be just fantastic.”

Mark Harris, Chairman of the Evo-Stik League said: “We are delighted to see our new sponsor, Evo-Stik, launching this initiative, which we are sure will be the first of many. The quality of club facilities in the non-league game varies substantially and many clubs are constantly battling against budget restraints for required works and improvements.
“Non-league football plays such an important role in the wider English game, as supported by Sir Geoff Hurst at the recent launch of Evo-Stik as our new sponsor. Initiatives such as this are critical to highlighting the required support and investment many non-league clubs are in such desperate need of.”

Marine Football Club has until the 30th September to create a masterpiece worthy of the £10k prize. Following this date, five finalists will be selected by a judging panel and put to the public vote via The Evo-Stik League website from the 18th October. The winner will be announced on the 15th November.
