Partners, not advertisers
The league runs a block headed Our Community Partners on its front page, rather than a sponsors page.
The wording matters. A partner is a relationship; an advertiser is a transaction, and for a league playing on municipal fields under a strict park policy the local businesses supporting it are closer to the former.
No individual partner is named in the front page text.
A High Cheese league page puts a partner beside the fixture list and the standings players open every week, which is where a community relationship is actually seen.
