Multi Finance Renews Ragama Cc Sponsorship for 2013/2014

Multi Finance PLC, a subsidiary company of the Entrust Group, renewed its financial commitment with 2012 Premier League limited overs champions Ragama CC for the forthcoming 2013/2014 domestic cricket league championship, at an event held at The Kingsbury Colombo on Thursday (28). The sponsorship will cover the team’s performance throughout the competition and will extend to the facilities and overall upkeep of the club itself.

Speaking at the event Ragama CC President Roshan Abeysinghe paid tribute to the club’s sponsors saying: “The Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket Nishantha Ranatunga about three or four years ago mooted the idea of putting clubs and sponsors together and at that point we had the great fortune of linking up with the parent company of Multi Finance, which was Entrust and that is where the association started.

Then there was a slight break and the Head of Marketing at the time, Vajira Dassanayake, was kind enough to once again make sure that the partnership was reinvented and Multi Finance and Ragama CC did join up last year.

“I’m very pleased to say that this partnership has not been limited to cricket. It has been a partnership that has built bridges; it has been a partnership that has gone beyond cricket and today we are very pleased to say that Multi Finance last year came in as a sponsor and this year they’ve come in as our one and only sponsor.

“They have been very kind to come in and take over the entire club and that includes the gym and the academy in addition to the team. Particularly in a very competitive environment where today cricket depends a lot on how much money we could generate, Multi Finance have been very generous with an excellent sponsorship and I must tell you that if we don’t have sponsors like this, no sport can go forward. So we, as people who are involved in clubs and involved in looking to take this great game forward, are extremely thankful that we have sponsors of this calibre.”
