Teamwork – on and off the pitch.

After a somewhat ignominious start…

“S&R’s first game and the team was up for it, until we got on the pitch and see Hot Vibes (a team half our age)” wrote Paul Corry in his first match report – “Cut a long story short they murdered us 10-0, but fair play to the lads they knew it wasn’t going to be easy and the spirit was good.”

…Team SR (aka Sinclair & Rush Football Club) showed true S&R strength of character to prove they would be as hard-working and focused on the pitch - whatever the adversity - as they are in their various key function at work - however tight the spec. and deadline.

The Team – left to right, back then front:

Chris Ford, William Crittall, James Ring, Paul Corry,

Jim Terry, Bruce Springett, Adam Ashwell.

Mick Thomas, Mark Osborn, Grant Philpott.

This was the first outing for S&R FC, a band of merry men bound together through the determined enthusiasm of their footballing leader, Paul Corry.

By day, Paul shares the essential functions of the team responsible for preparing the highly valued liquid plastisol mixes unique to Sinclair & Rush.

small batch’  plastisol mixer.

We have extensive material compounding facilities enabling the largest selection of materials and at the lowest possible costs, particularly on our own plastisol. Because we are our own compounder, clients save the material mark-up costs they might otherwise have to pay elsewhere.

Materials can be selected from a huge range of standard mixes, colours, textures etc. And if there is nothing suitable, for a new process perhaps, we work with our specialist R&D department to create something bespoke to the finishing spec.

Over the years we have developed over 500 formulae for varying customer needs.

That’s Sinclair & Rush, both off and on the field:

considering tactics.

Paul Corry rallied fresh blood, encouraging new players to bolster up the team. Substitutions during play were now possible which, together with a disciplined training regime during the week supported ever increasing fitness and skill, right up to the final whistle.

“We fell behind to a good strike from their forward, but we were back on level terms when Mark scored minutes later” wrote Paul in the regular and now eagerly awaited and earnestly read match report: “Well done fellas, the football and fitness is coming together.”

Now, even our American parent company in Arnold, Missouri enjoy following Team SR’s weekly exploits. They may have thought the English summer was one of balmy evenings, pristine whites, the clink of ice in Pimms and the thud of leather on willow - but not for the forthright front line troops of Sinclair & Rush Europe.

Paul pioneeringly engineered the moulds; the Board dipped deep to fund the strip; and the team camaraderie provides the unerring determination and enthusiasm – whatever the opposition.

“Again a team so young they couldn’t even get served in a pub!!!”

“The fitness and stamina is showing now, heads are high and the team are starting to play some good football”

The last game of the pre-season matches showed a brilliant turnaround for Sinclair & Rush FC. True grit and grim determination persevered under Paul’s leadership and we are all looking forward to the new season ahead.

Our thanks and support go out to Paul and the team for their hard work and occasionally painful sacrifices – both on and off the pitch.

Well done guys.

Sinclair & Rush – they think it’s all over – well as far as plastic’s concerned – it is now.
