LRC hosts football festival to mark five years of sponsorship by Rosebank’s Digilogix

LINBRO PARK – LRC FC unveils new kit for its four divisional teams amid festivities to mark five years of sponsorship by Rosebank-based IT company Digilogix.

 


Alexandra’s Love Reaching Community FC, better known as LRC, took advantage of a break in the local league to host a football festival and braai to celebrate its fifth anniversary of a partnership with the Rosebank-based IT company, Digilogix.

The celebrations also included a kit handover to the LRC FC’s four divisional teams, U13, U15, U17 and U19, at Love Reaching Community Church’s premises in Linbro Park which is also home to the King School.

In an interview with Alex News at the kit unveiling and handover, Nick Southon, who owns Digilogix along with his colleagues Gavin Burton and Michael Smith, said the sponsorship was part of a holistic programme of the company and LRC Church to develop and nurture children, and ensure they are taken off the streets and away from mischief.

“We want to ensure that these children, who are our future leaders and sports stars, are well taken care of so they can become the next generation of leaders that we can be proud of, leaders and sportspeople who will never deviate from the straight and narrow,” Southon said.

He added that they also wanted to instill a sense of pride in the players and give them goals to aspire to, such as winning their various divisional leagues and being the best teams and role models that others could look up to.
