New Girls Football Team Scores With Kit Sponsor

Leading local estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley is sponsoring the girls’ kits and training tops at Burley Trojans Juniors Football Club, which has just successfully launched a new under 10s team and is now encouraging girls of all ages and abilities to come and hone their skills at the club.

The under 10s girls’ team consists of 15 players who are all currently aged 8 and over. The team joined the West Riding Junior Girls League for the first time this season and has already made it to the semi-finals of the league cup, which will take place towards the end of the season in April 2019.

Team coach, Lee Forster, said: “Girls football is growing rapidly and we’re delighted to have successfully formed this under 10s team and secured the backing of Dacre, Son & Hartley to cover the expense of the kit.

“The team have quickly established themselves in the league and enjoyed some great results whilst wearing their new kit, and we’re now keen to build on this success by creating several more girls’ teams at different age groups, as well as adding to our U10s squad. Players of all ages and abilities are welcome and anyone interested should contact us now.”

Lesley Shakeshaft, who heads up Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Burley in Wharfedale office, said: “It’s an exciting time for the girls at Burley Trojans Juniors Football Club and we’re delighted to be able to offer our support by sponsoring the team’s kits. It’s great to see how well the girls are doing in their first season, and we look forward to seeing the club grow, as they attract new players and hopefully establish several more girls’ teams over the coming months.”
