Bakewell adopts Slingerz FC ahead of K&S extravaganza
The Bakewell Company is synonymous with freshly baked bread and other products along that line. However, the late proprietor, Naeem Naseer, had reached out to the organizers of the K&S entertainment group and years before he died had started a tradition of support that has been maintained by that company even after he had passed away.

Yesterday morning, the current management continued that tradition and reached out to the football fraternity as the K&S Entertainment Group prepares to launch the 25th edition of the tournament.
This time, the benefactor is the Slingerz Football Club and Bakewell has adopted the team which will now carry the Company’s tab as the team vies for honours in the imminent edition of the K&S spectacle.
Yesterday morning, Javed Ali, the man behind the success of the Slingerz Football Club, trooped to the Bakewell establishment, Albert Street Georgetown, for the official commissioning ceremony.
There, General Manager of that firm, Rajin Ganga, officially made the pronouncement. He said that his executives were indeed delighted by the strides made by the Slingerz FC and felt obligated to reach out towards their future advancement.
“We have noticed that Slingerz has developed into a strong force on the (local) football scene and feel obliged to render support,” said Mr. Ganga. He further hinted at a bigger package as the relationship grows saying that yesterday’s gesture signals the beginning of fruitful relations between the two entities.
Mr. Ali welcomed the gesture and intimated as much to Mr. Ganga. He said that he is indeed gratified that Bakewell has chosen his club to be their brand representatives and they will take this very seriously. “Slingerz has come a far way and gestures such as these would serve to boost our morale as we aspire to be the best local club,” concluded Mr. Ali.
Indeed, the club situated in Vergenoegen WCD, though relatively young, has made credible strides in the football circles. They were successful in their last outing, the Mayor’s Cup Football Championship after defeating Western Tigers in an action packed duel to take top honours.
Mr. Ali is brimming with confidence saying that his boys are fit and ready to take on all comers in the K&S tournament and replicate that feat. “Now, it’s not only about us; we now have the reputation of Bakewel l to uphold and we plan doing so with flair,” said the Slingerz boss.
