Grassroots football

Business Micros has matched its sponsorship of the local U8s football team at its Penpont head office with sponsorship of the local U8s team near its Newton-Le-Willows sales and installation office as well.

The U8s (soon to be U9s) at Matthiola FC, which attracts players from Burtonwood, Penketh and Great Sankey, have been provided with Business Micros branded shirts and jackets to set them up for the new season playing in the Warrington Junior League.

Business Micros’ business development manager Nick Bailey said: “Grassroots football suffered really badly during the pandemic and we wanted to do our bit to help. We’re all big football fans here, so supporting our local volunteer-led community club definitely feels like the right thing to do.”

Kevin Larkin from Matthiola FC said: “I would like to thank Nick and Business Micros for their tremendous support and eagerness to help our team. Grassroots football relies heavily on volunteers, donations and sponsorship. Without the sponsorship from local businesses, new kit costs would ultimately fall to the parents, and this may be a stumbling block for some families, especially in the current climate. So, the Business Micros sponsorship deal has helped massively with the new kits and waterproof jackets which will get the squad through the next two seasons.”

The new kit will be showcased for the first time at Matthiola FC’s summer tournament taking place in Burtonwood on July 31.
