The Mount Gambier-based harvest and haulage company has backed Football South Australia’s (FSA) strategic priority to grow the game in the Limestone Coast.
This follows FSA’s recent announcement it would employ its first full time staff member and begin a tenancy at Mount Gambier’s new Wulanda Recreation and Convention Centre.
FSA chief executive Michael Carter said the partnership with Fennell Forestry included two priority pillars of involvement within the Limestone Coast region.
Fennell Forestry to cultivate future football stars by establishing scholarship fund in the Limestone Coast region.
“The first is establishing the Fennell Forestry Scholarship Fund to support young players wishing to participate in the local competition,” he said.
“The second is a supporting partnership with the development centre for talented young boys and girls within the Limestone Coast region.
“Football SA is delighted to welcome Fennell Forestry as a partner of the game in a World Cup year for Women. The business’ Managing Director Wendy Fennell is a major employer of local residents and supporter of many industries. Establishing a scholarship fund for underprivileged boys and girls is great for the future of the game.”
Mr Carter said the Limestone Coast Football Association board’s decision to welcome the support of FSA to run the competition in the region was proving to be very positive for the area.
“There is a great deal of momentum in the lead up to the competition in 2023. Demand for participation in the game has never been greater,” he said.
