An independent opticians in Broxbourne has recently struck a sponsorship with Broxbourne Cricket Club, encouraging the team to prioritise their vision within sports. E&G Opticians, situated on Station Road in Broxbourne, have been at the heart of the local community since 1987, providing high standards of clinical excellence to their patients over the years.

Intending to support the future of local sports in Broxbourne and encourage vision to be prioritised within sports, the team at E&G Opticians recently formed a partnership with Broxbourne Cricket Club.

Broxbourne Cricket Club was established in 1848, serving as an inclusive and welcoming community within Broxbourne which aims to support the development of young players, many of whom have risen through the ranks over the years.

The club runs 5 adult men's teams with their 1st XI competing at the top end of the Championship, alongside a Ladies team in the Herts Premier League, and boys and girls Academy age-group teams from Under 9 up to Under 17. The club is housed by Broxbourne Sports Club, which also hosts a range of sports including Hockey, Squash, Tennis, Padel and Running.

As Broxbourne Cricket Club’s new sponsors, E&G Opticians’ logo now features on the team’s kit, and the practice will provide players with all their sports eyewear and eye examinations. Members of the club will also receive a 20% discount on all dispenses at E&G Opticians.

Commenting on the new partnership, Director at E&G Opticians, Shabnam Fazl, said: “We’re delighted to be able to contribute towards the club’s goals. We’re hopeful that our involvement will encourage more athletes to consider the vision element of their sport, whether it’s ensuring their eyes are sufficiently protected or staying at the top of their game with crystal-clear vision.

“The entire team at E&G Opticians has strong connections to the local community and we carry a real sense of pride watching the teams play. We’ll all be cheering them on!”
Gordon Picker, Chair of Broxbourne Cricket Club, added: “I hope that this is a mutually beneficial partnership, raising awareness of the need for good eye (and hearing) health and proper diagnosis and treatment of any issues.

“The support we receive allows us to keep improving and plan with the knowledge that it is there for the foreseeable future.

“We're so grateful for the enthusiastic support we've had so far from Shabnam and her team, and I know she values the welcome she has had at the club. Onwards and upwards together!”
