Cowplain Youth Football Club's Under 10’s team took part in its first cup games porting a brand new kit.
The players proudly wore a brand new football kit thanks to a donation from Cowplain Co-operative Food.
Coach Andy Grossett said: "Football gives these players confidence. When they get a goal, they have achieved something. It has enabled them to play together, grow together and develop themselves as young people whilst having fun playing football.
"There has been a period of change and growth, and the young players were all using worn out tired and shared kit. The donation gives the team a fresh identity. They look and feel proud."
The football club helps to provide a positive environment where the children can develop friendships and a team and community ethic.
Gareth Lewis of Southern Co-op, said: "Getting youngsters involved in football is so much more than just a way of exercising.
"It is community youth projects like this, led by parents and volunteers, that can have such a positive impact on a child's formative years.
"We were pleased to provide the football kit and tracksuits. If enthusiasm can win football matches, this team will soon be making a name for themselves!"
