Anglo Pacific backs quartet of sporting champions
At the culmination of the Rugby League Football and Australian Rules Football seasons, shipping company Anglo Pacific was in the enviable position of being able to count four of its sponsored sides as League Champions.
In Motspur Park on Saturday 6 August the West London Wildcats Premiership Australian Rules Football Team took apart the Wandsworth Demons 13.11 (89) to 8.9 (57) and their Conference Team Shepherds Bush Raiders beat the Clapham Demons 17.4 (106) to 9.13 (67). London Social side Ealing Emus fell just short of making it a hat trick for the Club suffering a narrow 7 point defeat to the South London Demons 3.11 (29) to 3.4 (22).
Luke Fenney, Club President, said, “This gives the Wildcats their eighth London Premiership win since AFL London started in 1990 and the Raiders their tenth in the 11 year history of the Conference Division. It makes all the hard hours put into training worth it. Anglo Pacific has offered their support to us for more than a decade now and we thank them for this alongside the discounts they offer to our returning players when shipping possessions back to Australasia.”
Meanwhile in Hemel Hempstead on Saturday 13 August the Hammersmith Hills Hoist Rugby League Football Club took victory in the Southern Premier 12 – 10 against the St Albans Centurions and their second side tore apart the West Norfolk Wildcats 30 – 16 in the London Merit League.
Hills Hoist Captain and Coach, Wayde Kelly, said, “Established by Australian expats living in west London, we’ve only been going since the end of 2008 yet have already notched a significant number of championship wins including the London Rugby League Grand Final now three years on the trot. We really appreciate Anglo Pacific’s support, financially and at the pitch side, and hope we can continue our winning streak and enjoying and developing the sport that we love in this part of London.”
Jason Diggs, Sales Director for Anglo Pacific, has a final word, “We might be a global business but we like to form part of the local community and sponsoring expat sports teams is a large contribution to that social outreach - not to mention the fact that a handful of players also work for us here on site at our West London headquarters. Of course we’re thrilled with the four victories this August and will undoubtedly be coming across some of the talented team members as they take advantage of Club discounts with Anglo Pacific to ship their personal belongings back to Australasia at the end of their stay.”
