Village under 10s show off new kit
Link advertiser AMS Accountancy has provided a
financial boost to a new under 10s team set up by
Chiseldon FC, by sponsoring home and away kits.
Matthew Clarke, club chair, said: “As a small village
club, the support from companies like AMS provides a
vital source of income that would be very hard to generate.
“The parents and the players agree that the sponsorship
makes the team look the smartest on the park.”
See the AMS advert on page 9.
