Total remain ahead of the game for 2010 season

Following a successful season in 2009, Total Ltd (Total) is pleased to announce a renewal of their sponsorship agreement with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club (GCCC).

Contracts were signed in December and the Total logo will feature on the back of all LV County Championship, ECB 40 Over League and Twenty20 Cup shirts worn by contracted players and on replica kits which will be available from the Club Shop.

GCCC is well known for its success in many one day tournaments. The Club plays the majority of its home games at the County Cricket Ground in Bristol as well as hosting the C&G Cheltenham Cricket Festival at the College Ground, Cheltenham. In 2009, the team narrowly missed out on a one day final at Lords after being beaten in the semi final and were one place away from a promotion to a higher league.

Following hot on the heels of last year's successes, the 2010 season is full of promise as Tom Richardson, Chief Executive of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club explains:

‘As the build up towards the 2010 season begins we have some exciting times ahead: on the field new signing Jonathon Batty will debut for the Club; the revitalised Twenty20 competition means more home games being scheduled; England return to the County Ground on 10th July for a One Day International match against Bangladesh and fantastic fixtures at our Cheltenham Cricket Festival include local derbies against Worcestershire and Glamorgan'

‘Off the field the Club continues to look to the future following up on our plans to redevelop the County Ground, helping to secure the future of cricket in the region. We also look forward to our continued partnership with Total, our shirt sponsors for the 2010 season.'

Stuart Baikie, Managing Director of Total Ltd agrees:

‘As Tom mentioned previously, 2009 was a very successful year for GCCC and our sponsorship arrangement with them worked very well. We are very proud of our Gloucestershire heritage and it is a pleasure to support our local team.'

‘We are looking forward to the forthcoming season and supporting GCCC with their plans for the future.'
