The Bear’s Head Partners with Vale Athletic FC as Official Kit Sponsor for 24/25 Season

We are thrilled to announce that The Bear’s Head is the official back-of-kit sponsor for Vale Athletic FC for the upcoming 2024/25 season! This exciting partnership marks a new chapter in our commitment to supporting grassroots football and the local community in Penarth.

Supporting Grassroots Football: Building Community Spirit

At The Bear’s Head, we believe that community is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Vale Athletic FC, a men’s football team that embodies the spirit, dedication, and camaraderie that makes grassroots football so special. Based in Penarth and competing in the Vale of Glamorgan AFL Premier Division, Vale Athletic FC has been a pillar of the local sports scene since its establishment in 2020, providing opportunities for players of all backgrounds to come together and share their passion for the beautiful game.

By supporting Vale Athletic FC, we are not just backing a football team; we are investing in the future of our community. Grassroots football clubs like Vale Athletic FC play a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging, promoting healthy lifestyles, and inspiring the next generation of players. Our sponsorship is a testament to our dedication to nurturing local talent and helping the club achieve its goals on and off the pitch.

The Bear’s Head: More Than Just a Pub

The Bear’s Head has been a beloved gathering spot in the Penarth community for many years, known for its warm atmosphere, delicious food, and great drinks, and further strengthened by the recent takeover of management by Croeso Pubs. Now, we’re taking our community involvement to the next level by partnering with Vale Athletic FC. As a local business, we understand the importance of giving back and supporting initiatives that bring people together.

Football is more than just a sport; it’s a way to unite people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a player, a coach, or a fan, there’s something truly special about coming together to cheer on your local team. At The Bear’s Head, we want to be part of that experience, offering our continued support to Vale Athletic FC throughout the season.

Looking Ahead to an Exciting Season

With the 24/25 season just around the corner, we’re excited to see Vale Athletic FC take to the field in their new kits, proudly displaying The Bear’s Head logo. We believe that this partnership will not only benefit the club but also bring the community closer together. Whether you’re attending matches, following the team on social media, or simply stopping by The Bear’s Head to catch up on the latest scores, we encourage everyone to come out and support Vale Athletic FC this season – in both the VoG AFL, Barry and Supporters Cup competitions.

Together, let’s make the 24/25 season one to remember! We look forward to seeing you at the matches and at The Bear’s Head. Let’s support our local team and show the power of community spirit in Penarth!
