Grandma Singleton is looking after her development

The future is looking bright at Longridge Town Juniors Football Club, who have announced that Grandma Singletons, the award winning Cheese Producers based in Longridge are to join them as shirt sponsors of their "Little Kickers" coaching school.

Little Kickers which runs on a Monday night at Longridge High School from 5.30pm to 6.30pm, is aimed at the 5 to 7 age group and gives these youngsters their first taste in football.

Mark Cummings who coaches the children said "The aim of the Mondays night sessions is to teach the children the basics of football and get them ready for competitive football at the age of 7. It is all about having fun and playing lots of football related games.

We originally started off with about 10 children, but numbers have risen to around 40 per session and we are looking at running other nights.

With the help of Grandma Singletons, this is the first time we have been able to provide the children with kit. It has given them a sense of identity and the smile on the children's faces when they put their kit on is a joy to behold."

Gary Johnson, director at Grandma Singletons, who was instrumental is setting up the agreement attended at one of the training sessions to present the shirts to the young children.
