JCB Pitches In To Help Football Club Celebrate In Style

A Staffordshire football team is preparing to celebrate its upcoming milestone anniversary in style, thanks to support from digger giant JCB.

Lea Hall Football Club, which is based in Rugeley and marks 25 years of supporting youngsters into football next year, has invested in smart new kit for its Under 11s team thanks to a £1,000 donation from JCB.

The club, which trains at Rugeley Leisure Centre, in Burnthill Lane, helps aspiring football players aged 4 to 16 with weekly training sessions as part of the Mid Staffordshire league.

The Under 11s team, which has already had a great start to the season winning its first match 9-1, has now updated its home and away kit.

Vice Chairman and Under 11s manager Anthony Wilby said:

“We are all so proud of how hard every one of the team works. As a club we are committed to making sure every bit of sponsorship goes towards providing the kids with the very best opportunities. JCB’s generosity means a lot to the players."

"When they walk on the pitch each weekend in smart kit it helps to build up their confidence and make them proud of their team. It has been a fantastic start to the season and as we prepare to celebrate our club’s 25th anniversary it is great to be stepping out in style.”
