VAS are proud to sponsor the Woodkirk Valley under 15s Black Team. The boys in the team have played together for the best part of 10 years with some joining the under 6s team all those years ago. They are currently competing in the Huddersfield junior boys league in division 6 against 10 other teams throughout West Yorkshire. Last season the boys had a huge turn around and finished mid table in their division. This followed two seasons of loss after loss, testament to the boys’ determination and team ethic throughout this period.
The team has the privilege to play on Woodkirk Academy’s football pitches which are amongst the best in Yorkshire; completely flat with the perfect covering of grass and excellent drainage, a far cry from the council and club pitches many of us played on in 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
The coaches (Paul and Martin), the boys and the parents are all looking forward to the season ahead. The team got off to a winning start, with a 3-0 win (GET IN!). VAS is pleased to be the team’s sponsor and provide financial support for the kit and equipment. We wish the boys the best of luck for the rest of the season. We will update monthly and let you know how the boys are getting on. We are expecting big things!
