“The financial contribution will be used to encourage junior participation, provide quality training equipment, and help offset self-education expenses for our junior coaches and managers,” he said.

“We’ve got some great ideas on how we can work together; we’re hoping to brand some of our junior teams, create perpetual awards, deliver healthy eating options and plenty more.

“We’re grateful that an organisation with the reputation and size of Costa Group is keen to support local hockey and what our club, in particular, is doing.”

Costa Berries Regional Manager, Corindi, Mark Robertson, was looking forward to partnering with Beaches Hockey Club.

“Costa Group is one of the largest fresh-food producers in the country,” he said.

“We encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle which fits perfectly with what Beaches Hockey Club
and the local hockey community are trying to do.”

“This is a partnership where we look to build on our shared values and deliver additional benefits for their players, their families and the entire hockey community.”
