Mick Nolan and Steve Lovegrove with the squad

The boys of the U15 squad thought Christmas had come early this year when they all received brand new weather-proof jackets and trousers together with completely new strip all courtesy of their new sponsor – The Blue Chip Group of Bedford who are the UK’s largest independent maintainer of IBM midrange computers and managed services provider.

Team manager Mick Nolan explained “Our previous sponsor had ceased trading which left us without a sponsor for the 2008-9 season. Many of the boys had outgrown their kit. We have 17 fast growing 14 – 15 year olds who had to start the new season in last year’s kit .We were particularly concerned about the lack of weather-proof jackets and over trousers to keep the lads dry and warm in the cold, wet weather.”

Blue Chip managing director Brian Meredith said “Here at Blue Chip we often receive requests for help, but usually with various technical issues. We were pleased to be able to help the Buntingford Cougars under 15’s football team. We hope other companies will see this and sponsor other youth teams.”
