Exeter football team kick off 'Deadline' Day

Rising football stars at one of the region’s junior clubs are the envy of the Exeter & District Youth Football League after being reward for their hard work last season with a brand new training kit, courtesy of a local courier firm.

St Martin’s FC’s Under 15s team has been given the strip by sponsor, Deadline Distribution Services, based on Marsh Barton Trading Estate, Exeter.

Deadline Distribution Services is part of the UK’s largest independent parcel network, APC Overnight, and has been delivering parcels to over 250 customers across the region for 14 years.

Shaun McGahon, Managing Director at Deadline Distribution commented: “We’re pleased to be backing the U15s and, as well as providing the kit, we’ll be on the side-lines with a full delivery of cheers for the squad.

“For us, it was important we put our sponsorship behind a local organisation who would really feel the benefit and that is something I believe we’ve found in St Martin’s, we’re delighted to be able to make a difference.”

Neil Whittaker, Coach of St Martin’s FC’s Under 15s, said “Shaun’s son plays for the side so he knows better than most that having a proper kit can go a long way to encouraging the lads to play as a team and achieve success on the pitch. I’m very grateful to Deadline Distribution for their continued commitment to the sport.”
