Bishopstone FC has received a kit sponsorship, a much-needed boost in their 2025 season campaign and derby day match against fellow Beitbridge outfit Dulibadzimu United tomorrow, Saturday, May 10th.
The kit sponsorship, courtesy of Funeral Insurance giants Nyaradzo Group, is undoubtedly what the doctor ordered for the Beitbridge team to lift their spirits and bring their campaign back on track after a somewhat disappointing start to their 2025 campaign, having recorded one win and three losses.
As they go into tomorrow’s much-anticipated derby, Bishopstone will be hoping that the coming on board of Nyaradzo as their kit sponsors will buoy their boys to perform and outwit an opponent that has dominated the derby, Dulibadzimu United.
Team manager for Bishopstone, Ladislaus Shumba Paradza, said his team is ecstatic about the “mutually beneficial” partnership with the Nyaradzo Group, promising to do all they can to repay the faith shown in them by the corporate.
“We are grateful to Nyaradzo for the support,” he said. “We hope this partnership will last long and be fulfilled to the letter and spirit. Our players and the whole team are happy with this gesture by Nyaradzo.”
The kit sponsorship by the Nyaradzo Group includes a full kit of 30 jerseys for match days, 30 trainer joggers, and matching t-shirts, with additional materials, including stockings, set to be delivered at a later date as part of the package.
Nyaradzo Group Beitbridge Branch Administrator, Munyaradzi Nyamaropa, emphasized the entity’s valuation of community initiatives, saying, “This donation underscores Nyaradzo Group’s commitment to supporting local sports and promoting community development.”
As Bishopstone dons the Nyaradzo Group’s sponsored jerseys, their fans will be hoping the timely boost has set the stage for their team’s turnaround in the current campaign.
