AN under 8s football team in Ellesmere Port has kicked off the season with a new kit, thanks to sponsorship from local homebuilder Redrow.

Vauxhall Cavaliers Under 8s received sponsorship for their new kit which will take them through the season, playing in the Eastham & District Junior Football League.

Jon Waring, chairman of Vauxhall Motors Football Club, said: “We are a community club, run by volunteers. When we receive investment from sponsors it enables us to target specific projects that help us to continue providing outstanding opportunities and facilities for our members.
