Seagram Backing West Indies
The Barbados Nation
13 November 1998
Seagram South Africa have been named as the new sponsors for the
West Indies cricket team in South Africa. The announcement
should come as a spirits-booster for the three-month tourists
after no support had seemed likely a couple of months ago.
David Richardson, the former South Africa wicketkeeper, said he
had almost given up the task of finding someone until by chance
he made contact a week ago with Spiced Gold, a rum aperitif which is made in Jamaica.
The players' previous sponsor, the brewers Kingfisher, had long
since pulled out.
