THE new team at Wigginton Grasshoppers have been cheered by a sponsorship deal to supplement their fine start to the new season - but further boosts are needed on and off the field.

The Grasshoppers' girls under-10s team recently formed ahead of this season and have been helped by sponsorship Haxby Group Practice.

Their second and latest competitive match in a York development league brought a 5-0 win over counterparts from Stamford Bridge, with some fantastic attacking football on show.

However, with only nine players, they needed more to join up, while they are seeking a sponsor for waterproof rain jackets for training and match-days.

The team train on Mondays from 6pm to 7pm at Wigginton Squash Club's playing fields, with matches taking place on Saturdays.

Anyone interested in playing or sponsoring the team can phone coach Ollie Maskell on 07910 704640.
