A community is rallying round to support promising young footballers.

Burnham Ramblers under fifteens is appealing for funding to buy kits, bags, bottles, balls and general essentials.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up online by mum Sarah Burch with a target of £500 and already £100 has been pledged.

It is hoped enough money will be raised to also pay for some team-building days and nights out.

Sarah Burch, whose son plays for the under fifteens, said: “We need to raise the profile of the younger teams so that more people support them.

“We have literally risen like phoenixes from the bottom to the top and are likely to go onto the next league at the end of the season.

“It’s actually been miraculous what they’ve gone from and to.

“I think if the community sees that we are trying to help them get kits etc and how vastly they’ve improved in around one year, we might get a bit of support.”

Volunteers are also needed to help tidy the grounds.
