“The Milk Cup, now known as the Dale Farm Milk Cup, has an established international pedigree and we are pleased to partner with a locally based company, which has strong local and international outlets and interests. It is a perfect fit for us at a time when we are exploring new and exciting innovations to our event.
“Over 65 countries have been represented in 32 years of the event and we have every confidence that the Dale Farm Milk Cup sees the start of a new phase in our continued development designed to further enhance our event,” he added.
