Thatto Heath Crusaders U7s are delighted to have secured enough sponsorship to fund the purchase of their new team kit. The U7s would like to thank both Autotrader and Rotary Club of St. Helens for their generous donations.

Head coach Ian Derbyshire said “We are extremely grateful for the support we have received from each of our sponsors. At such a young age it is difficult for the U7 players to carry out common fund raising activities such as bag packing in local supermarkets. As such we have had to be reliant to a large extent on sponsorship. To have received the backing that we have is fantastic and we would like to say a massive thank you to each of our sponsors. We are now able to place our order with the clubs kit supplier Rhino ahead of the season which starts on March 1st”.

St. Helens Rotary Club chairman Derek Downey said “We are delighted to encourage youngsters to participate in sporting and other activities, helping to provide life skills on which to build their future through teamwork and striving to do their best”.
