Children will play football in style after a donation for new kit.

Taylor Wimpey gave Borehamwood Youth Football Club £500, which is being put towards a new strip for the young sportsmen.

Club secretary Lorraine Clements said: “We have 14 teams, ranging from under-sevens to under-16s and providing kit for each player can be a very expensive business, so Taylor Wimpey’s sponsorship makes a massive difference.”

The club have also applied for cash from Sport England and the National Sports Foundation to help prevent flooding on their pitches.

Borehamwood Youth FC play in Cass Park, Aycliffe Road.
