Sopha Sponsors Huntspill Cricket Team

We are delighted to announce a three year sponsorship of the Huntspill & District women’s cricket team! This sees the shop logo on the front of the ladies’ playing shirts, an advertising board at the club’s ground and space on the club website. Emma, who works full-time here at Sopha and plays for the club on evenings and weekends, made the introductions.

Emma has been with us since we were first preparing to open our doors in 2018 and has shown a similar commitment to her club, playing since its inception in 2019. “Cricket has been in my family for generations and I was beyond delighted when I served a customer one day who mentioned a women’s team was being set up in West Huntspill”, she explains. “The team is a really friendly group of ladies with plenty of banter and encouragement. It has done wonders for helping me to come out of my shell and improve my mental health. The fresh air, exercise and social aspect has been a big help in maintaining a work/life balance and I’m so grateful to Matt and Emily for getting on board. I feel very proud to wear my shirt!”

Matt and Emily, Sopha’s founders, added, “As a local business we have always put great importance on supporting our local community and other local organisations. We’re really proud of every member of our team and the role they play both here at Sopha and in the wider community, so being able to support both at the same time is an opportunity that we could not miss! We wish the team good luck over the coming season.”

Go well, ladies!
