Empowering Young Athletes – Sapphire become the jewel in youth footballs crown

ESG

A fresh Saturday morning saw a story of support and community unfolding at St Mary’s. Breightmet United FC Under 7’s, a group of young, aspiring footballers, were set to not only display their passion for the sport by taking on the Tyldesley Jets but also showcase the power of partnership. Sapphire’s sponsorship played a pivotal role in this story, as the team coaches proudly revealed the team’s fresh training kits to the under 7’s, marking a new chapter in their journey.

At Sapphire, we firmly believe in empowering young athletes and the potential that youth sports hold to shape not only athletic skills but also character, teamwork, and determination. Our sponsorship was more than just financial support; it was an investment in these young talents and a testament to the significance of community backing.

Gareth Murphy, Co-Manager of BUFC Under 7’s, responded to the sponsorship saying “Partnering with Sapphire was an easy decision to make and having Sapphire sponsor our kits was a simple case of clear-cut thinking. We can’t thank Sapphire enough for investing in grassroots football at a time when everyone is feeling the pinch and the boys really do look like the finished article.”

The Breightmet United FC Under 7’s exhibited their determination with a resounding 4-1 victory over Tyldesley Jets with goals scored by Ezra Morgan and an impressive hat trick by Mikey Walker.

The impact of our sponsorship went beyond the field. The moment the young players put on their new training kits, they embodied a sense of unity and pride that extended beyond the sport itself. These uniforms became symbols of their collective identity, empowering the young athletes and fuelling their determination to succeed.

Breightmet United FC Under 7’s journey has just started. As the next season beckons, the team is poised for success, armed with their new training kits.

Sapphire’s role in this journey is a reminder that when we invest in the dreams of young athletes, we’re not just supporting a team – we’re encouraging a legacy of determination and excellence.
