Dafydd Hughes, on behalf of Huws Gray commented: “Sponsoring the Cymru Alliance allows the company to support several different football clubs and communities throughout our branch network within Wales, and we’re delighted to continue our sponsorship after a summer when the whole of Wales went mad for football. Both Huws Gray and the Cymru Alliance were established in the same year (1990) so we believe that we have grown together and will continue to flourish. The league has huge potential as well as passionate fans so we hope all clubs, players, officials and supporters enjoy a fantastic season.”
