Youth footballers in Gosport sport new kit thanks to Bellway sponsorship
Young footballers from Gosport Borough Youth FC have new team kit thanks to local homebuilder Bellway.
The company, which has plans to build new homes at Portside View in Gosport, has donated £675 to the club’s U13s Burgundy team to sponsor their new shirts.
Team manager David Day said: “When the players received their kits the smiles and delight on their faces were priceless.
“The players of U13 Burgundy needed new kit after outgrowing their previous kit which they had for three seasons. The team would like to thank Bellway for becoming their sponsor.”
Gosport Borough Youth FC has teams from U7 through to U18 as well as adult teams for men and women, with training and matches held at various venues in the area.
Sales Director for Bellway Wessex Graeme Cole said: “It’s so heartwarming to hear about the young players’ delight at their new kit.
“Having played in their old gear for three years, I’m sure they will be much happier and more comfortable in their brand-new Bellway sponsored strip. We wish them all the best for the rest of the season and hope being so well kitted out inspires them in their upcoming games.
“It’s important to us as a local homebuilder to build relationships with the local area and support worthwhile causes. Gosport Borough Youth FC does great work in the community helping the young players to improve their game, have fun and make new friends, so we were very happy to sponsor the team.”
