Nolan Oils, the Bicester-based fuel distributor, has extended its long-term support of local football team Ardley United by becoming the latest kit sponsor.
With the club’s ground already well-known as ‘The Nolan Oils ground’, the hardworking team are enthusiastic about the additional support.
Club Chairman Ian Feaver commented: “Thank you to Luke Nolan and Mark Nolan at Nolan Oils for your generous support of our club, Ardley United. “Clubs like ours rely on the support of local companies to be able to provide the opportunity to play football at grassroots level and we really appreciate what you do for us.”
A close game
In celebration of the sponsorship, Luke Nolan was invited to watch the local team Ardley United FC play against Edgware FC at the Nolan Oils ground.
Thoroughly enjoying the game, after finishing a morning out delivering on the truck, Luke commented: “It was a close game and great to see the lads play with such passion and respect. We love football at Nolan Oils. In fact, my late Grandfather, Bert Henry Nolan of Markim Fuels was a county football referee! It’s a pleasure to sponsor the ground, kit and even the club minibus!
“Thank you to club Chairman Ian Feaver, his wife Tash and the rest of the team for their kind hospitality.”
