Wingerworth Juniors U7 celebrate new kit sponsors
Bellway East Midlands and Ashberry Homes have joined forces to sponsor local football team, The Wingerworth JSA Under-7 Crocs.
The club, which is based at The Avenue, off Hornbeam Drive, has been around for more than 25 years and provides coaching for age groups from under-7s to under-15s.

Edward said: “Wingerworth JSA aren’t a registered charity and rely solely on generous donations to be able to continue, along with the help of parents and volunteers.
“This team in particular is fairly new and only started basic football training last year but will soon be playing proper matches.
" We have a mixed boys and girls team and all the kits have previously been passed down the generations from older club members.”

“The team will really look the part in their new kits, and we wish them the best of luck in the season ahead.”
