A SALON owner is helping young footballers stay dry on the sidelines.

Little Oakley FC under-15s have been given new rain jackets by Catten College, owned by Anne Catten from Dovercourt.

The young players have also been given new tracksuit tops by long-term business supporter the Pier, in Harwich.

A spokesman for the team said: “We are very pleased Catten College has agreed to sponsor Litter Oakley FC under15’s team.

“And we are also very pleased the Pier has sponsored the team for the last three years and has funded new tracksuit tops.”

Little Oakley under-15s, based at the Little Oakley Memorial Ground in Harwich Road, are currently playing in the A League of the Colchester and District Youth League.
