Specsavers funding helps out North East junior polo player, Anna Motley - January 17, 2020

Fourteen year-old Anna Motley from Norton, who plays locally for Sheffield Stingrays and regionally for the North East, has secured £1,000 sponsorship from Specsavers to support her journey towards Great Britain representation.

Anna, who trains with the 2004 England squad, commented, ‘I’d like to say a huge thanks to Specsavers in Norton and the team for their generous sponsorship. I train every day at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, and compete almost every weekend.’

‘Without support from Specsavers, my dream to compete for my country wouldn’t have been achievable, so this is a great opportunity for me, for which I’d like to say a huge thank you!’

Jennifer McGrath, Director at Norton Specsavers, comments:  ‘We’re delighted to be supporting our local sporting talent in the area and I hope Anna’s sponsorship enables her to go on to great things.

‘Eye care in sport is extremely important, so I hope the sponsorship encourages players and parents alike to maintain their own sight health to make sure they keep their eye on the ball! Whilst water polo players are accustomed to playing gruelling and lengthy matches, our eye tests only take half an hour, so there’s no excuse not to get tested!’
