MATTHIOLA Junior Football Club’s newly-formed U7s boys teams will be kicking off next season in style after scoring new kit from housebuilder Redrow.

The Great Sankey-based club is benefitting from a £500 sponsorship deal from the developer, which has built homes nearby at Taylor’s Chase in Sophia Drive.

New kits will be provided for players in two new under-7 teams, formed from those already training at the club’s academy ahead of their inaugural season.

Lesley Myers, sales manager for Redrow Homes Lancashire, said: “Matthiola Junior Football Club train and play their home games very close to our new development at Taylor’s Chase and we have developed a great relationship with them.

“Last year we donated a defibrillator for the club’s under11 team so when we were recently asked if we would sponsor kit for youngsters in the new under 7s squad, we were only too happy to help.”

The orange and black Adidas strip will be branded with Redrow’s logo, and is sure to make an impression when the club kick-off the new season in the Warrington Junior Football League.

Club secretary and head of development, Simon Greenway, said: "It’s great to see a company supporting sport in the community at grassroots level and we’re very grateful for Redrow’s support."
