LOCAL KIDS FOOTBALL TEAM GETS BOOST AS ACCOUNTANTS STEP IN AS SPONSOR

A local kids’ football team is looking the part on the pitch this season after chartered accountants Lovewell Blake stepped in to become their kit sponsor.

Kirkley & Pakefield Crusaders U11s, who play nine-a-side football in the Norfolk & Suffolk Youth League, have been given the boost, which has seen them receive new kit, as well as a financial injection to help cover the costs of running the team.

Lovewell Blake, which has an office on Quay View Business park in Lowestoft, sponsors a number of community football teams, with an emphasis on supporting youth sides.

Gary Flatt, partner at Lovewell Blake, said, “As well as encouraging youngsters to get fit and enjoy outdoor exercise, team sports such as football teach a sense of camaraderie and loyalty, fair play, and working together – all skills which will help every young player in their adult lives.

“We are delighted to be supporting the Kirkley & Pakefield Crusaders U11s team, and wish them a successful season.”
