Try Romida Sports, maybe Torpedo bats that come out of Bradford.

Just write, that'd be my advice, they won't come looking for you unless you're "an anointed one". It also helps if you're a batsman, tbf.

Brands only tend to sponsor you if you are going to go somewhere (ie county) I have a sponsorship from Salix, they have dear prices but great stuff

well im playing at the highest level i can at my age which is county , do salix give you a discount or a full sponsorship?

Do keep in mind that there is a chasm between merely being part of a County squad in a Minor County side and being a key player in an FC/major county.

Write, but if you do, give them a good reason why they should be interested. There are 38 counties x 12 age groups (inc girls) x 15 kids in a squad = approx 7000 county cricketers. Find a way to stand out... and double check your letter for punctuation, spelling and grammar.

Depends... the S3 sponsorship means that the higher you go the bigger the discount I think.

My son had a Duck and Run bat last year. His batting improved hugely and then made the Winter training squad. He wrote to them to ask for sponsorship and was told he could not get full sponsorship but they would offer him a discount of 40%, off of a new bat.

I believe this is not unusual and if you composed a well written letter, you would be having to decide which supplier to choose. Given the tougher economic climate and dreadful weather, many of the kit manufacturers are looking at any way they can to shift some of this years range. Ask it can't hurt but, as Neil says, ensure you spell check the letter.
