Colts energised after winning new kits
MARKFIELD Colts are dressed to impress after winning a full team kit through E.ON’s Power Kicks competition.
The under 13 footballers are now proudly wearing their new team kit for their matches in the Leicester and District Sunday Junior League.
Kate Everest, whose 12-year old son Matthew has been playing with the Colts for around five years, entered the competition on behalf of the boys.
She said: “It was actually Matthew’s grandma – my mum – who spotted the competition, which we were thrilled to win.
“We’re a small village team, and the under 13 team were still playing in the same hand me down shirts they’d had for three years.
“They’ve had a mixed start to the season, and now have quite a few games in hand due to bad weather and pitch conditions.
“They’re also still in the cup competition, so there’s everything to play for. They’re really keen to get on with the season and test out the new kit.
“Markfield Colts run teams for all age groups, with an emphasis on having fun and keeping fit in a team environment.
“We welcome players of all abilities and with a love of football, with matches on Sunday mornings at South Charnwood High School and Tuesday night training at Newbridge School in the winter and South Charnwood through the summer.”
Michael Lewis, Chief Executive of E.ON, said: “I hope this new kit brings Markfield Colts luck in their remaining matches this season.
“We love running initiatives like this because just as we’re helping our customers in the way they need it most - helping them to only use the energy they need, when they need it, we try to work in a similar way in our communities, providing the support to local groups that they tell us they need.”
