A DARLINGTON solicitors has pledged its support for a local cricket club.

Latimer Hinks has signed up as Cliffe Cricket Club’s main sponsor in a two-year deal.

The firm’s logo will be featured on the front of new whites for both Cliffe’s first and second teams for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

Cliffe, based near Piercebridge on the Yorkshire side of the River Tees, has two teams playing in the Darlington and District League. Although the club is based in Yorkshire, many members are from the Durham side of the river.

Anne Elliott, Latimer Hinks CEO, said: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring Cliffe Cricket Club.

“We know how important the club is in encouraging people to take up sport and to continue to play through from grassroots to top flight. The club has an enviable reputation for producing talented young players so we may well have the stars of the future playing in the new Latimer Hinks’ shirts.”

Club secretary Richard Mallender said the club is ‘extremely grateful’ for the company’s support.
