Sponsor provides new kit for Highdown Saints Football Club

Pet Doctors, a Sussex chain of veterinary practices with a branch in Flansham Lane, Felpham, is backing the Littlehampton-based club's under-12 B team for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons.

The team, who train on Saturday mornings at the Flora MacDonald School in Littlehampton, play in the D Division of the Arun and Chichester Youth Football League.

Highdown Saints is one of the largest clubs in West Sussex and offers mini and youth football to more than 200 players aged five to 15.

It was the first football club in the area to attain FA Charter Standard status.

Coach Gavin Pitt said: "We are really grateful that Pet Doctors has chosen to step forward and sponsor the team for the next two seasons, particularly in the current climate.

"The lads are really pleased with their new match strip. Now we just need to ensure we start getting some results on the pitch."

Pet Doctors managing director Garret Turley said: "We're all increasingly aware of the health benefits of regular exercise, particularly for children.

"With this in mind, Pet Doctors is keen to show its support for children's sporting activities in the local community.

"We'll be following the team's progress closely over the next two seasons. No pressure then, lads!"
