Press Release Body: As part of its commitment to supporting local community
organisations, leading law firm Oxley & Coward of Rotherham announces its continued
and increased sponsorship with Whiston Parish Church Cricket Club.

Oxley & Coward is to be the Shirt Sponsor and Match Sponsor for 8 home games during
each of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. In return for the sponsorship, Oxley &
Coward will receive corporate branding and advertising banners around the Whiston
ground.

Peter Hedley, Practice Manager for Oxley & Coward, said: "As a local company
established for over 200 years, our success has been and continues to be based on
our relationships with the local community. It is highly appropriate that we should
support the local community and we are delighted to assist Whiston Parish Cricket
Club. We wish them every success for the remainder of 2008 and future seasons, and
hope we can have a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the club.

Peter Maw, Honorary Secretary for Whiston Parish Cricket Club, said: "With all the
money currently going into 20/20, you could be forgiven for thinking that cricket
was awash with cash. It may be true at the top end of the sport, but at the grass
roots end of the sport we are heavily reliant on donations and sponsorships of this
type to maintain the ground and keep our teams playing regularly in the league.

"As sport seems to have an ever decreasing role to play in schools, local clubs like
ourselves are becoming even more important in providing opportunities for young
people to get involved in sport, and we have a thriving junior section that takes a
lot of time and money to maintain and develop. Hence we are doubly grateful to Oxley
& Coward for their support and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the
firm for their investment in our local cricket club."
