In this interview series, we introduce Saints members to our Sponsors.
Saints sponsors help our club in many ways, including; ground hire,
purchasing equipment, paying umpires, keeping registration fees to a
minimum and ensuring your children can train and play in a safe, healthy, fun
environment every week.
Today we meet a new sponsor, Lisa and Melvin from Elements Local Services
