Local Football Club score with competition win.

When parent, Cath Walsh, entered a competition at work to win some football equipment for her sons football team, she never thought she would win. However, Cath was left dumbstruck when bosses at the Co-Op Bank in Manchester told her she had won and arranged delivery of the equipment.

Whelley Alexandra under 7s will now be able to use the bibs, balls, cones, goals and corner flags for their home games. Steve Martlew, club secretary and manager of the under 7s said “I knew Cath was entering the competition and was probably as surprised as she was when she told me she had won. We are very grateful to Cath for entering but most of all to the Co-Op Bank. The equipment is worth around £500 and is a tremendous help to us.”

Chris and Ron commented we would like to thank Cath for supporting the club and it’s a great result to get the money when so many other clubs have put in for it. The club have come on leaps and bounds in the past few years and we will continue to help the club in the future in any way we can

Whelley Alexandra JFC have 7 seven teams from under 7s to under 12s and play in the Bolton, Bury and District Football League.
