INEOS CHLOR HELPS LOCAL GIRLS JOIN IN THE FOOTBALL FRENZY

WE all know that football is our national game - now local chemical manufacturer INEOS Chlor is helping girls from Frodsham Junior Football Club pursue their hobby whilst looking their best! The company provided a £250 donation last year to supply a new football kit for the newly established U14's team.

Frodsham Junior Football Club has had a successful boys' section for many years and after an influx of requests from the girls in the area, training sessions were established in the autumn of 2003. The interest was that great that over 50 girls turned up to the first training session and the demand and appetite has increased steadily over the last 2 years.

The club now has 2 teams that play in the Cheshire Girls League at Under 10's and Under 12's age group and more recently a new U14's team has been formed. INEOS has stepped in to kit the girls out in a new team strip in the hope that this will provide team confidence when they compete in their new league.

Said Janet Ward, INEOS Chlor's Community Relations Manager: "As a company we are always very keen to support local sporting organizations and this group is particularly special as it supports the ethos of 'Sport for all'. Traditionally football has been a male dominated sport and we are proud to be supporting the drive to open up all types of sport to all types of people. We wish the girls the best of luck with their forthcoming matches and hope that they fulfill their dreams."

Said Tracey Malone, Assistant Secretary, Frodsham Junior Football Club: "The interest shown by the girls of Frodsham in football has been phenomenal and we are really pleased to have received this financial support from INEOS Chlor. The girls really look the part in their new kits."
