Structural waterproofing firm Cannon Clarke Ltd became stadium sponsor last year. And the deal has been renewed for the forthcoming season.

Club chairman David McDonagh said: “Securing Cannon Clarke’s continued support as our stadium sponsor is fantastic news for everyone connected with Bath City.

“Sponsorship at this level has a real and direct impact right across the club, from the first team and coaching staff through to our community work and the matchday experience for every supporter who comes through the turnstiles.

“David Clarke [Cannon Clarke Ltd’s founder and chief executive] has been a tremendous partner since day one.

“The fact that he is so passionate about the club as a long-term supporter himself makes this so much more than just a business arrangement.

“He genuinely cares about where Bath City is heading, and that means a great deal to all of us.

“As we go into what I believe will be an exciting season under [manager] Scott Bartlett, having this kind of backing gives the whole club a real lift.”

Clarke said: “I’m delighted to be able to renew the Cannon Clarke Stadium sponsorship for the new season.

“Once again, I insisted that the iconic Twerton Park ground name stayed as part of the naming rights, as it’s such an important part of Bath City’s long and historic tradition.

“Our first season on board as stadium sponsors last year was unfortunately disappointing on the pitch [with City relegated from Enterprise National League South].

“But with Scott Bartlett now in charge, hopes and enthusiasm for the new season are very high.

“With the stadium having had a real tidy-up, including new floodlights, this summer, everyone is hoping the club can put in a very strong promotion push to get back into the National League as quickly as possible – and I hope this sponsorship will go some way in helping towards that goal.

“My thanks to David McDonagh for facilitating this deal with my company and for all his very hard work since he became chairman, alongside, of course, all the many other club volunteers, without whom the club would cease to exist.

“I’m proud, as a long-term supporter and running a Bath-based business, to be associated with the club in this way and wish Scott every success this season.”

The Romans’ campaign will get under way with a Pitching In Southern League Premier South fixture at Hampshire club Sholing on Saturday 8th August.
