Bellway provides training tops for team at Thorpe Wood Rangers FC

Young players from Thorpe Wood Rangers FC in Peterborough have long-sleeved training tops for the winter thanks to sponsorship from Bellway.

The housebuilder’s Eastern Counties division, which is building new homes at Elder Brook in nearby Alwalton, donated £438 to the Castor-based club for the Under 11s team.

The new tops will help keep the youngsters warm during match days - and at training sessions, which are currently held at Woodlands Sports Pitches off Splash Lane in the village ahead of a move to Peterborough Regional College during the winter.

Team Manager Robert Moane said: “The new tops not only look great and keep our players warm, they also help them to feel united and to represent our club with pride.

“Grassroots clubs like ours rely heavily on the generosity of businesses to support us with kit and we’re extremely grateful to Bellway for sponsoring the tops and for investing in our local community.”

Lewis Bowcutt, Bellway Eastern Counties Sales Manager said: “We are pleased to be supporting the Under 11s from Thorpe Wood Rangers FC as they train and play home games just a few miles from our Elder Brook development in Alwalton.

“The club attracts children from across Peterborough and gives them opportunities to be active, learn footballing skills and make new friends.

“It’s fantastic that the kids are so proud of their team, and we’re glad to add to that sense of pride with these smart new training tops. We hope they enjoy training in them, especially as it gets colder as the winter draws in.”
