EASTWOOD’S HAVE A FLUTTER ON CROCKARD

Newtownards rider Gordon Crockard is pleased to announce a unique new partnership for this weekend’s International Supercross event, at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast . The three times British champion and current Grand Prix regular will team up with high-profile local company, Eastwood Bookmakers, in a one-off deal – additional support will come from Honda, Red Bull and Bridgestone tyres.

The 27-year-old former International Supercross champion will be looking to put the Eastwood Tele Betting Honda on the top step of the podium on both Friday and Saturday night at the Odyssey Arena.

Gordon Crockard
“This is Eastwood Bookmakers’ first time being associated with Motorsport, so I’m equally pleased that they have chosen the Supercross event in this one-off sponsorship deal. It certainly raises the profile of local sponsorship at the event, and my end of the deal is to give them as much exposure as I can.  Hopefully we can also maximise the local media attention this coming weekend with a successful partnership, as I don’t often get the opportunity to race at home. Most of my year is spent overseas racing in Grand Prix, but I’d like to add to my Odyssey tally when we the gate drops on Friday and Saturday night.”

Stephen Eastwood

“The Eastwood name has been associated with other sports, both in and globally over the past 25 years, but we are pleased to be associated with Gordon, who is without doubt ’s leading motocross star. He is a great ambassador for our country, having competed successfully at GP level for a number of years, and this weekend I’m sure he will do us proud on the Eastwood Tele Betting Honda. We introduced Tele Betting in March 2005, as was the only country where you couldn’t bet on a Sunday – the demand has been impressive and our customers can now bet from the comfort of their own home.”
