Pentagon is proud to continue our long-standing support for the Cliftonville Ladies Football Team. Our partnership underscores our commitment to empowering one of Northern Ireland’s top women’s football squads.

Our Enduring Support for Cliftonville Ladies Football Team’s Success

At Pentagon, we are proud and honoured to be long-standing sponsors of the Cliftonville Ladies Football Team, one of Northern Ireland’s most talented and successful women’s football teams. Our partnership, which has flourished over several years, exemplifies our commitment to supporting local sports and is rooted in our shared values of teamwork, perseverance, and community spirit. We believe in the power of sports to transform lives, and our continued support for Cliftonville Ladies reflects our dedication to nurturing local talent and empowering female athletes to achieve their fullest potential.

Cliftonville Ladies Football Team: Champions on the Rise

The Cliftonville Ladies Football Team has kicked off this year’s league season spectacularly, securing victories in all eight opening league matches. This perfect start has them poised to replicate their remarkable success in the 2022 NIFL Women’s Premiership where they were crowned champions.

On June 30th, 2024, the team once again demonstrated their resilience and exceptional skill by retaining the NIFL Premiership League Cup, a title they proudly held in 2023. Cliftonville’s 2-0 victory over Lisburn Rangers was powered by goals from Kirsty McGuinness and Vicky Carleton, further solidifying their status as a formidable force in the league.

While the team has celebrated significant successes, they also faced a tough challenge in the County Antrim Challenge Cup. Last season’s champions were narrowly defeated 2-1 by Glentoran Women at the Blanchflower Stadium on Saturday 24th August. Despite a valiant effort and a late goal from Kirsty McGuinness during injury time, Glentoran managed to secure the win, preventing Cliftonville from retaining the trophy. This setback only fuels the team’s determination to reclaim their title and continue their pursuit of excellence.

As the season unfolds, Cliftonville Ladies remain a team to watch, driven by their strong squad, unwavering determination, and collective ambition to achieve even greater heights in the NIFL Women’s Premiership.

Supporting Local Youth Sports

At Pentagon, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact in our community through our support of local youth sports teams. We understand that the skills developed in sports—such as leadership, communication, and resilience—not only contribute to athletic success but also translate into valuable workplace competencies. Our sponsorships are a cornerstone of our social responsibility initiatives, which emphasise promoting gender equality, mental well-being, and the critical role of teamwork in both sports and everyday life.

In July, we proudly expanded our support to include the Antrim Grammar School Rugby Tour to South Africa, highlighting our dedication to fostering young talent on an international stage. Additionally, we continue to back local teams like the Grosvenor Grammar Rugby team and the Cregagh Cricket Club, reflecting our ongoing commitment to nurturing sports excellence at all levels.

Our Sponsorship Initiatives

Transparency and tangible impact are at the core of our sponsorship approach. We actively support the teams we sponsor by providing new kits and engaging with them on social media. This hands-on involvement ensures that our support goes beyond financial backing, creating lasting relationships and meaningful contributions to the teams’ success.

Pentagon is always eager to explore new sponsorship opportunities.
