The Junior Blades would like to thank giffgaff for there generous donation of kit and training equipment to our U9’s team.
The community led mobile network, responded to a request for help from Junior Blades manager, Layen Wisdom.
We reached out to the local community asking for help in providing kit and training equipment for our youngsters and were over the moon when a brand as well known as giffgaff got in touch and offered to help us out. We really are so grateful for the sponsorship and support we have received and all of the players and parents have all said how good the new training kit looks. I really hope this will be the start of a long term partnership with giffgaff and once again just want to say a big thank you to all of those involved in making this a reality.
Layen Wisdom, U9 Manager
As part of the sponsorship deal giffgaff have provided the team with a new training kit and water bottles that were designed with the intention of combining the brand colours of both the mobile network provider and the Junior football Club. The result is a fantastic looking kit that is proving extremely popular. The other Junior Blades sections are already jealous of the new training wear !!
2 of the 3 managers, Layen Wisdom and Lee Reid were recently interviewed by Sheffield Live, talking about the new giffgaff tie up.
