Lloyd's extend sponsorship with Scotland

Cricket Scotland has secured another two year's sponsorship with Lloyd's TSB, extending their association until 2009.

"The profile of cricket in Scotland has increased significantly since we first became main sponsor," Lisa Stephenson, director of marketing at Lloyds TSB Scotland said. "It is one of the largest participative and inclusive sports we have and is a perfect fit with our brand and our business. We are extremely proud to have been associated with this growth in popularity."

Roddy Smith, Cricket Scotland's chief executive, was delighted with the deal and is excited by the future benefits the continued sponsorship will bring. "Lloyds TSB Scotland is a much valued partner, and the support we have received to date has played a significant part in the development of the game in Scotland," he said. "Against a backdrop where other national teams are losing or changing sponsors, it is a major coup for cricket to secure continued support at this level."
