Savs to lose sponsor?

Beleaguered Five Dock National cricket team the Battered Savs could lose their lucrative sponsorship with alcohol manufacturer the Five Dock Coservatorium of beer because of their extremely poor start to the 06 season. This follows from their competitive but unsuccessful campaigns from 1973 to 2005.

To date Savs representatives have been unavailable for comment although three players were reportedly seen hugging and kissing the feet of FDC management in the early hours following their most recent loss. The Savs are already at risk of losing their lucrative endorsement deals over their recent salary cap breaches.

A spokeswoman for the FDC said: "The Savs are our marque sponsored team for whom we produce licensed products and hence any issues around a perceived lack of performance due to our product goes to the heart of the reputation of the FDC brand."
