Kay Lathey is Slough Town club secretary. She said: “To get sponsorship these days is very difficult, particularly for the girls.

“Everyone that works with all the kid’s teams here at Slough Town doesn’t get paid, so when someone agrees to sponsor a team it’s a big deal.

“We’re really happy and would like to say a big thank you from everyone here at Slough Town to Fortress and Sparc for their sponsorship to the U13s girls’ team. They’ve really made a worthy contribution to the community and made the U13s team very happy.”

The girls expressed gratitude for the partnership and feel delighted with their new kit.

Michelle Speight is Mum to team member Hari-anna. She added: “It makes you feel great that someone cares about the youth of today.

“To get a sponsorship means a lot. It really brings the girls together as a united team. They look so professional and mean business.”
