Bassetlaw football team receives sponsorship from housebuilder for new kit

A funding boost from Harron Homes has enabled Harworth Colliery FC to purchase new shirts for the team.

The club’s community programme provides more than 200 children with the opportunity to learn, play, and most importantly enjoy their football, as well as teaching them values such as team work, discipline, respect and sportsmanship.

The club is based at Harworth and Bircotes Sports Pavilion, Scrooby Road, close to Harron’s Simpson Park development.

The area was also home to world famous cyclist Tom Simpson, from whom the development gets its name and the club has a memorabilia display in his memory.

Jonathan Wilson, Harworth Colliery FC chairman, said: “We’re grateful for Harron’s contribution. As a charity we appreciate support from the community.”

Natalie Griffiths, Harron Homes North Midlands sales and marketing director, said: “We enjoy being able to assist the local community.”
