A Powys firm will be sponsoring Shrewsbury Town in their third-round match in the FA Cup this weekend.

Welshpool-based recycling specialists Parry & Evans will be on the left sleeve of all the Town players for Saturday’s big Emirates FA Cup third round tie against Sunderland.

Lee Evans, director at Parry & Evans said he was delighted to be sponsoring the team in the big game

“We are extremely proud to be sponsoring Shrewsbury Town in the Emirates FA Cup this season,” said Mr Evans

"We’re really looking forward to seeing our brand on the sleeves of the players, and we wish them all the very best of luck against Sunderland, and hopefully we can progress further in the competition.”

Andrew Tretton, Shrewsbury Town's commercial manager welcomed the company’s support.

“I’d like to thank Lee and everyone at Parry & Evans for their support, which is greatly appreciated by everyone at the football club,” said Mr Tretton.

“We’ve had some fantastic moments in the FA Cup in recent years, so here’s hoping for another one on Saturday.”

The game should be a tough test for Town with Sunderland currently eighth in the Championship and on good form with seven points in their last three games.

However, Shrewsbury have a fine record of giant killing in the competition – taking Liverpool to a replay in 2020 and famously knocking Everton out of the competition in 2003.
