Reydon youth football team net new goalposts thanks to assist from housebuilder Orbit Homes
Young footballers at Sole Bay United Juniors FC are enjoying a brand-new set of goalposts to shoot into, thanks to a contribution from affordable housebuilder, Orbit Homes.
Orbit Homes boosted funding received from the Premier League and FA-backed Football Foundation charity, with a £1400 donation towards the new 9-a-side goalposts, which will be used by Sole Bay United Juniors and visiting teams from across Suffolk and Norfolk.
The club offers youngsters in Reydon, Southwold, and surrounding villages the opportunity to play football with teams for four to six-year-olds through to Under 16s.
Ray Winney, Regional Managing Director for Orbit Homes in the East, commented: “As a housebuilder with a deeply rooted social purpose, we are committed to making a positive impact and were delighted to offer our support to Sole Bay United Juniors FC with this donation. We hope that young people in the area enjoy using the goalposts for many years to come and we’re sure they’ll be a fixture in plenty of exciting matches.”
Craig Stammers, Coach at Sole Bay United Juniors, said: “As a not-for-profit club, having these goalposts funded through grants and donations is something we’re grateful for and it provides us with the quality equipment needed to allow so many children in the local area to continue to enjoy playing football. We’d like to thank Orbit Homes for supporting our teams with their generous donation and our players have certainly wasted no time in hitting the back of the net of these goals.”
Sole Bay United Juniors play and train at the Reydon Playing Fields. More information about the club can be found at www.solebayfc.org
