Sutcliffe Play are delighted to sponsor the new football kit for the Upton United Juniors U8 team!
Since relocating to Upton, West Yorkshire, all the way back in 2004, we’ve been keen to play our part as an active member of this wonderful community. Now, we’ve quite literally made our mark once again, with our name and logo emblazoned on the U8s’ eye-catching new strip.
Upton United Juniors, established in 1981 and based at our very own Waggon Lane, do fantastic work providing footballing opportunities to young players aged 3-18. Youth football teams are the lifeblood of local sport in the UK, and are vital in keeping young people fit and healthy whilst teaching teamwork and friendly competition – and UUJ is no different.
Although based right here in Upton, the U8s scored a huge away win back in August – we were thrilled to see them join the sporting stars of Barnsley Football Club at Oakwell Stadium, as a guard of honour for the team’s first game of the new League One season! Lining up with the players live on Sky Sports, whilst flying the flag for Upton and Sutcliffe Play, they truly did us all proud.
More recently, the team were seen back on home turf, when they visited our Head Office playground for an afternoon of fun in the sun. As you can see, some of our latest and greatest play creations (including our brand new Marine Inclusive Roundabout) got them in a serious spin – but at the final whistle the result was clear: fun for all!
