Beer, Bikinis and The Olympics - Team GB

Finally Announced

PR Newswire

LONDON, July 3, 2012

July 3, 2012

/PRNewswire/ --

Due to become one of the highest profile sports in the Olympics, Team GB's

women's beach volleyball duo has finally been announced as Zara Dampney

and Shauna Mullin - much to the pleasure of the girls, their fans and American

Craft Beer brand Fordham.

Fordham began sponsoring the girls in

January 2012

to help finance their

training and support their journey to qualify. Having spent the last 6 months on

the worldwide competition circuit, Zara and Shauna are now ready to fly the

flag at

London

2012.

Fordham, which features a distinctive 'FO' logo on its bottles, is rebranding the

sport as 'FOlleyball' in a drive to persuade the British public to take up the game

as well as enjoy the beer range as part of their "Try Something New" campaign.

Graham Richardson, general manager of Heathwick, said: "We are delighted

for Zara and Shauna. They've worked so hard to qualify as Team GB and

deserve all their success. There's going to be a real buzz around Beach

Volleyball in

London

and right across the UK this summer, with the Olympics

giving this fresh and exciting sport a high profile. That's the same ethos we're

building around the Fordham range, offering something new and interesting to

beer drinkers and making craft beer more accessible to mainstream

consumers."

Shauna said: "Representing Britain at the Olympics is a dream come true for

us." Zara added: "We're extremely grateful for Fordham's support, which has

made it possible for us to focus on playing the best volleyball we can."

It seems Zara and Shauna will have the American's supporting them, along with

all us Brits. They obviously know a good thing when they see it.
