Canterbury District Soccer Football Association announce relationship with Everton FC

Everton will now officially be known as CDSFA?s sister club in the world?s most elite competition, the English Premier League.
The relationship between CDSFA and Everton developed back in July when Everton was in Sydney to play Sydney FC.
CDSFA president Frank Parisi made contact with Everton?s media and Communication manager, Mark Rowan, during their visit to Sydney to put the idea to them.
?Everton was a stand out for us, given that Tim Cahill is an old boy and one of our current Patrons of the association, and one of Everton?s key players. To me it was a logical fit?, Parisi said.
?Mark Rowan was more than pleased to enter into a friendly relationship with the CDSFA, saying that Tim Cahill is an idol for many people here in Sydney, as he is at Everton.
?We sent to Everton one of Canterbury?s representative jerseys and banners as an initial token, and Everton have dually reciprocated, sending us a signed Tim Cahill jersey and an official Everton Banner as well?
Parisi also advised that this is the first part of an ongoing relationship.
?We have been invited to Everton in the near future to further discuss other initiatives between the 2 organisations. This includes having CDSFA members to obtain Everton membership?s as well as to look into the possibility to provide the opportunity for some CDSFA youngsters to train at the Everton Youth Academy.?
?This is an exciting period for the CDSFA as we continue to grow in leaps and bounds, and by having this relationship with an International Club like Everton, it will give the thousands of CDSFA players something to be proud of knowing they are part of 2 terrific organisations in CDSFA and Everton FC,? exclaimed Parisi.
