The North West Counties Football League is today announcing the renewal of its sponsorship with the World’s oldest goalkeeping supplier, Reusch, to be the Official Goalkeeping Partner of the League.

The renewal means that Reusch will be a partner of the League for a further 3-years and will provide Goalkeeper of the Month awards to goalkeepers in the Premier and First Divisions. In addition The Goalkeeper of the Year Award will be presented to the best goalkeepers in the NWCFL Premier, First and Reserve Division’s at the League’s Annual General Meeting which takes place every June. The winners will receive a year’s sponsorship from Reusch throughout the following season, which will consist of six pairs of gloves. In an additional incentive for goalkeepers, Reusch will also provide a free pair of gloves to any first choice goalkeeper whose team reaches the fourth round of the FA Carlsberg Vase during this season’s competition.

Paul Lawler, chairman of The North West Counties Football League: “The League is very proud to be continuing to work with Reusch after a successful three-year partnership. Our goalkeepers have benefited greatly from the sponsorship deal and we are grateful to Reusch for their ongoing support and look forward to working with them next season and beyond.

Bob Fidler, UK country manager from Reusch, said: “We have enjoyed working with the NWCFL over the last few years and we hope that the goalkeepers who have won the awards have benefitted from using gloves worn by many top Professionals around the world. We are also very honoured to be associated with the First Division Cup competition and look forward to working with the league over the coming years."

About Reusch

In the world of goalkeeping, no brand can match the heritage of German brand Reusch. They manufactured the first ever goalkeeper glove with a latex palm, worn by the legendary German goalkeeper Sepp Maier when he helped West Germany lift the World Cup in 1974. Since then more goalkeepers have worn Reusch gloves to win World Cups and European Championships, than any other brand in the market. Over the years many great keepers have trusted in Reusch gloves including Peter Schmeichel when he achieved the treble in 1999 with Manchester United and more recently Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar who repeated the feat in Italy with Inter Milan in 2010, before also being named UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year.

Reusch recognise that it is not just players at the highest level who wear their product, which is why as a specialist brand they produce a range to suit keepers of all levels, playing in all conditions and on all surfaces. As well as sponsoring Professional Goalkeepers across all the home nations and Ireland, Reusch UK has agreed a number of partnership / sponsorship deals to put something back into goalkeeping from grass roots up. They sponsored the newly formed Goalkeeper Coaches Association (The GCA) www.thegca.co.uk, which aims to help more people to provide coaching to more goalkeepers especially at the lower levels.

They sponsored the first ever Goalkeeping Conference to be held in the U.K. which was an opportunity for goalkeeper coaches to get together and share ideas and coaching techniques which included sessions put on by Eric Steele the former Manchester United goalkeeper coach and Simon Smith the F.A. Youth Goalkeeper Coach. A number of other deals were agreed including sponsorship of The Non League Paper Goalkeeper of the Year awards, and also The North West Counties Football League.
