Tong Garden Centre has made its mark on a talented junior football team by sponsoring its kit.
Tong’s plant buyer, Steve Smith said: “We are always enthusiastic about supporting the local community. It’s a pleasure to help the youngsters who are taking part in sport in this way.
“They are a very talented group. We’re looking forward to seeing how they progress as a team.
“We hope that they enjoy wearing their new kit and wish them every success for this season.”
The successful team have won the league several times from the age of six. They’ve been League Cup and District Cup winners and played in last season’s District Cup Final at Leeds United’s Stadium.
They have also won Football Festivals at Butlins Skegness, which earned them a place in the grand final at the prestigious St Georges Park.
Thanks Tong

“On behalf of the boys and the parents, we’d like to say a big thank you to Tong Garden Centre for sponsoring our kit.”
