Medicash backs Vikings Super League Bid

The corporate community is throwing its weight behind the Vikings' bid for Super League status in the lead up to the final decision due to be announced on 31st March.

And this season's newly signed sponsor Medicash is the latest organisation to voice its support for the bid for Super League status.

The cash plan provider signed up as sponsors for the 2011 season as part of a commitment to supporting the club but also to join forces with other partners to develop the Vikings Business Club and improve and strengthen links with local companies and community groups.

Medicash Chief Executive Sue Weir said; "We are backing the bid because Rugby League is part of the heart and soul of Widnes - economically, culturally and socially. Being awarded Super League Status would represent a huge boost for the club and have a real impact on the local community.

"The Vikings narrowly missed out last time but the success and hard work put in since then means the Super League is well within our reach this time."

Vikings are hot favourites to secure the three year engage Super League Licence and are competing against Halifax and Barrow who also submitted bids.
Widnes Vikings chief executive Julie Gaskell said: "We were very excited to have Medicash on board for the 2011 season and delighted they are backing the bid. Sponsors' support is crucial to ensure we can grow as a club and achieve our goal of playing in the Super League."
