The Future is Bright

The next time you are asked what do I get back in return for sponsoring a football team, take a look at the joy on these players faces and the answer is self -supported.
Thankfully Alpha Motors had the belief and give the boys the right image to allow them to look the part and perform accordingly.
Andy Richardson ( U10 team manager) was pleased at the commitment and achievements shown in there first season, this has been continued into this season 2006/07 with a 3rd place secured in there division and only narrowly going out of the KO cup to the eventual winners Highfield Grange.
