MUNDFORD UNDER 16S FOOTBALL TEAM ANNOUNCES NEW KIT SPONSOR

A team of young footballers in Mundford will be taking to the pitch with a new name on their shirts this season – after signing up a new sponsor.

Mundford FC Under 16s have teamed up with chartered accountants and financial planners Lovewell Blake for the new season, with the firm supporting the expenses of running the team, including the new kit.

The team, which plays in the Norfolk Combined Youth Football League, kicked off their first match of the season with a very hard fought winagainst Thetford Town FC.

The young footballers are coached by Jamie Norton, who is partner at Lovewell Blake’s Thetford office.

“We are a firm which just loves to get involved in our local communities,” said Mr Norton.  “I really enjoy supporting the lads in their footballing ambitions, and it’s great that Lovewell Blake have backed that up with sponsorship to help the team fulfil their programme of matches this season.

“I’ve been coaching this team since they were five years old and getting them onto the football pitch teaches them teamwork and social skills, as well as helping them keep fit – and it gets them away from the computer for a couple of hours!’’
