After expanding from one girls’ team to six teams over five years, players at Queensgate FC are now donning matching kits after our donation.
Committee member and coach Rob Clare, said: “We’ve expanded the girl’s side of Queensgate FC to meet the demand we’ve seen from girls who want to play football. Of course, with expansion comes extra costs for kit, equipment and venue hire so Redrow’s donation means we’ve been able to cover the costs for new kits and we can continue to welcome more girls into the sport.”
Queensgate FC’s girl’s academy welcomes players from age five with teams ranging from under 8s to under 15s. They train at Club Cheadle Hulme and Club Laurus and play matches at local central venues in the Cheshire Girls League, as well as Woodford Recreational Ground. Linked to our Woodford community fund, we have shared £10,000 between 10 community groups close to Woodford Garden Village.
Emily Carey, area sales manager for Redrow NW, said: “It’s great that Queensgate FC has expanded the girl’s side of their club so more girls have the opportunity to play a sport they love. We’re really pleased we’ve been able to help out with the kits so the girls really look the part when they play matches.”
Woodford Garden Village will combine 920 homes, a pub, school, shops and an extensive network of green spaces including children’s play areas, cycle pathways, parks, meadows and extensive tree planting.
